To esteemed guests, friends, and colleagues,
Let me first congratulate you for being part of the wonderful HKU ENT Masterclass 2026, titled "Inside & Out: Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery & Rhinoplasty." This year, we have unified the crucial components of nasal care, enhancing both internal and external approaches to improve patient outcomes.
Our program begins with a 2-day hands-on practical dissection workshop, led by world-renowned experts within our faculty. The first day will focus on endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery, followed by rhinoplasty on the second day. Participants will enjoy close supervision with a low ratio of dissectors to supervisors.
The sinus surgery dissection will cover basic full house endoscopic sinus surgery techniques to advanced frontal sinus drill-outs, approaches to the infratemporal fossa and transclival approach to Merkel's Cave.
In contrast, the rhinoplasty dissection will integrate comprehensive functional techniques—such as spreader grafts and baton grafts—with advanced cosmetic techniques including dorsum augmentation, tip refining techniques, and alar base reduction surgeries.
The final day features a jam-packed scientific program aimed at discussing advancements in rhinology, including sinus surgery and rhinoplasty, while addressing both challenges and the latest updates in the field.
We are particularly proud to have Professor Yong Ju Jang from ASAN Medical, Seoul, Korea, with us this year. It is my utmost honor to have been one of his many fellows, and we are privileged to have him as this year's Wong Hau Yuen Visiting Professorship lecturer. His vast experience in rhinoplasty will undoubtedly impart great wisdom through his distinguished lecture.
Just as the nose is the centre of attention on the face, we invite you to explore the heart of Hong Kong, a dynamic "East meets West" city known for its stunning skyline, vibrant street life, and unique, bustling energy that leaves a lasting impression.
This course wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support from our sponsors, who form the backbone of this event. A heartfelt shoutout goes to our organizing team for their tireless efforts in making this event a success.
Lastly, without the presence of all our participants, this event wouldn’t be as memorable. I hope this Masterclass not only enriches your knowledge but also fosters new connections and unbreakable bonds.
Welcome, and let's embark on this exciting journey together!
