World-class researchers played a key role at the international rhinology and skull base surgery course of the University of Szeged. The lectures and instructions were attended by doctors and lecturers as well as by national and international participants. The training will further strengthen the University of Szeged's network of links with Asian and European universities.
The University of Szeged plays a national leading role in the field of rhinology and neurosurgery care and innovation. In Hungary, the endoscopic technique was first used in Szeged, in 2007 for pituitary gland surgeries. Since then, this technique has been routinely applied for malignant nasal-paranasal sinus and skull base surgeries, and SZTE retains its pioneering role in the field.
The key of this professional development is the constant improvement of infrastructure, which was made possible by the establishment of a hybrid neurosurgical operating room and the new otolaryngology department. Another factor for progress is continuous training, made possible by cooperation between national professionals and clinical centres.
The joint courses with international experts started in 2011, the current one being the 10th, now with international participants and speakers. Professor Prepageran Narayanan, the main lecturer and instructor of the course is a world-renowned authority in the field, an associate of the University of Malaya, who was nominated as an honorary member of the Hungarian Society of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (MFOE) for his development of national otorhinolaryngology.
This cooperation will ensure that the course in otolaryngology and Cranio-oesophageal surgery will become a major event in the Central and Eastern European region and attract many foreign guests to the University of Szeged.
