To successfully attend the course, the student must possess the basic knowledge of histology, anatomy, physiology and pathology.
TThe objective of the exam is to verify the level of achievement of the indicated training objectives. The test will be oral and focus on the contents of the lectures, concerning the surgical techniques (general and specialized aspects) of the module in question. The test consists for each module in a question in which the student is asked to describe in a concise but relevant way all the important aspects of the specialized surgical techniques of the module in question. Knowledge of the reactions of head and neck surgery and the materials used and the student's ability to identify the key points will be evaluated. Exposure clarity and language properties will also be evaluated. The test is graded out of thirty and passed with a mark of at least 18/30. The final grade will be the arithmetic average of the results of the three individual tests corresponding to the three teaching modules. Honors are awarded only in the case of a grade of 30 in all three modules. The sufficiency will be based on the knowledge referred to the oral exam of the material presented in class, in terms of slides.
Educational objectives
The course aims to offer the essential bases of the use of biotechnologies in the ENT field. The student will be provided with the basic knowledge to understand the biomaterials and technological aids used in the surgical, diagnostic and therapeutic fields and their potential and possible developments in future applications. This knowledge completes the training of a graduate in Biotechnology with solid and up-to-date skills in the fundamental sectors of medical biotechnologies, also based on the use of biomaterials and new technologies in the health sector.
Learning outcomes
Specifically, at the end of the course, the student will be able to: 1. Know the different biomaterials used in the reconstruction of anatomical districts in the ENT field (frontal, maxillary, skull base, mandible) 2. Describe the different technological aids in the diagnostic and therapeutic field (2D-HD, 3D, robot endoscopes) 3. Know the different hearing aid aids (implantable and non-implantable prostheses) and their evolution over time, as well as deepen the new frontiers of development 4. Understand the main methods and principles of functioning of the peripheral nerves 5. Understand the basics of neuronavigation in surgery
The course will provide the anatomical, technical and use of biomaterials bases to understand the different applications / developments in the medical-surgical field with particular attention to the otolaryngology field.
In particular:
- principles of monitoring of the lower laryngeal nerve
- principles of facial nerve monitoring - basics of operation and application of 2D, 3D and robot endoscopes - optical and magnetic neuronavigator
- application bases of biomaterials in the reconstruction of the frontal sinus, maxilla and mandible
- operating bases and field of application of hearing aids
