Track: Pediatric Otolaryngology

Pediatric Otolaryngology

Key Areas of Focus in Advanced Surgical Interventions in Pediatric Otolaryngology


Decannulation:  The process of removing a tracheostomy tube, emphasizing the assessment and criteria for safe extubation.


Adenoidectomy: Surgical removal of the adenoids to alleviate nasal obstruction, recurrent infections, and improve breathing.


Laryngotracheal Reconstruction and Laryngomalacia: Techniques to repair airway anomalies and improve breathing in infants with laryngomalacia, a common cause of stridor.


Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Surgical interventions for children suffering from OSA, including tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, to enhance sleep quality and overall health.


Cricotracheal Resection: A complex procedure for correcting tracheal stenosis or structural airway defects, focusing on restoring airway patency.


The session will provide an in-depth overview of advanced pediatric ENT surgeries, emphasizing recent innovations, clinical techniques, and patient-centered outcomes. It offers an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge, engage in meaningful discussions, and contribute to the advancement of pediatric airway and ENT care. Researchers and clinicians with breakthrough studies or unique surgical experiences are encouraged to submit an abstract for consideration and be part of this vital discourse shaping the future of pediatric otolaryngology.
