Many breakthroughs in sinus and head and neck treatment at the international ENT conference

The conference took place over 2 days, November 23-24, with more than 27 sessions, updating new advances in diagnosis and treatment of sinuses, thyroid cancer and head and neck surgery. The event was an opportunity for medical experts to exchange experiences, share knowledge, and work together to improve the quality of treatment for the community.

International conference "Update on diagnosis and treatment of sinus and head and neck diseases".

In particular, the conference was attended by British Ambassador Iain Frew, Dr. Ha Anh Duc - Director of the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management; Associate Professor, Dr. Le Minh Ky - Vice President of the Hanoi Otolaryngology Association; Associate Professor, Dr. Le Cong Dinh - Vice President of the Hanoi Otolaryngology Association... and reporters from the Hanoi Otolaryngology Association, Facing The World Organization, the Royal College of Physicians - UK,...

Dr. Ha Anh Duc - Director of the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management - delivered the opening speech at the Conference.

Speaking at the opening of the Conference, Dr. Ha Anh Duc - Director of the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management - said: " Sinus and head and neck diseases are increasingly complicated and demanding. Therefore, updating new advances and techniques in the treatment of sinus and head and neck diseases is very urgent, not only helping to treat effectively, reduce complications but also meeting the current high aesthetic requirements of patients.

This conference will be a great opportunity for doctors to learn, exchange experiences, and apply new techniques in treatment. Hong Ngoc Hospital is one of the pioneering private hospitals in international cooperation and application of modern techniques, bringing many benefits to patients."

The opening session was a discussion introducing the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, handling of complex complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage and frontal sinus disease treatment techniques by Dr. Nora Haloob. Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a difficult disease to treat due to persistent symptoms and high risk of recurrence, causing serious impacts on the patient's life.

Dr. Nora Haloob, an ENT specialist at Guy's Hospital, London, tackled the difficult problem with her report "Update on the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps", a new treatment method that provides long-term symptom control and improves the patient's quality of life.

Another challenge for otolaryngologists is the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid leaks, a complex condition that causes fluid to leak from the skull cavity into the nose, increasing the risk of serious infection. Dr. Haloob presented a new approach to treating cerebrospinal fluid leaks, which can help prevent complications and reduce the risk of recurrence, during the session “Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak Treatment.”

Speaking at the Conference, Associate Professor, Dr. Le Minh Ky - Vice President of the Hanoi Otorhinolaryngology Association - said: " Currently, the treatment of sinus and head and neck diseases is increasingly complicated, requiring high requirements in both expertise and technique.

Therefore, updating new medical and technological advances is extremely necessary, not only helping doctors improve their diagnostic and treatment capacity but also contributing to improving the quality of medical examination and treatment, better meeting the health care needs of the people."

In addition, an important issue addressed at the Conference was the role of diagnostic imaging in sinus treatment to provide appropriate treatment regimens.

The report “Preoperative Imaging Diagnosis of the Nasal and Sinus Surgery” by Dr. Florian Bast - Senior Consultant of Rhinoplasty, ENT and Facial Aesthetics in Germany - updates the use of imaging technology to optimize the diagnostic process, increase accuracy, reduce the possibility of errors, and support doctors in deciding on treatment methods.

After the discussion session on sinuses, Master, Doctor Nguyen Xuan Quang - Head of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Hong Ngoc Phuc Truong Minh Hospital - presented the report: "Endoscopic thyroidectomy through the oral vestibule" - a technique that leaves no scars, opening up the optimal choice for thyroid cancer patients, especially those who are concerned about aesthetic factors.

On the sidelines of the conference, Master, Doctor Quang shared: “ This method is especially useful for young patients and those with high aesthetic needs. Thyroid cancer surgery without scarring is not only a step forward in medical aesthetics but also an optimal therapy, helping patients recover quickly, minimizing the psychological impact of treatment .”

Leading ENT experts from Vietnam and internationally attended the discussion session.

In addition to sinus and cancer diseases, the conference also introduced reports on plastic and cosmetic surgery such as: domino flap rhinoplasty; complex nasal septum surgery... These updates help doctors gain more practical experience in plastic and cosmetic methods, meeting the increasing needs of patients.
