| New form of communication with our colleagues instituted: |
2006-08-09 |
|
We have founded a blog dedicated almost exclusively to the transfer of newest literature data for otorhinolaryngologists. Articles from peer-reviewed publications are abstracted in Croatian-Serbian or Serbian-Croatian idiom, salient points are underscored for discussion. We hope to thus institute a forum for clinical and scientific knowledge exchange. Visit the blog (wit the somewhat tongue-in-cheek name "ductus reuniens*", see the photo of the mascot Mr Nauk Nesyt, again tongue-in-cheek name for "instiable for knowledge") and read the page "For our English speaking readers".

2006-04-22 |
|
Professor Josef Sopko, practicing phoniatrist in Basel and consulting phoniatrist of the Aarau hospital, who entertains close ties to his country of origin, has arranged that 6 used, but still very serviceable ORL examination units by Atmos are donated to the colleagues in Košice. Professor Juraj Koval, Director of the ORL Department in Košice has arranged the transport from Switzerland, our organisation and Prof Sopko divide the remaining costs. Not only the Košice department, but also smaller ORL units will profit from this donation.

| Flash news: President of ORL-BAL appointed Chairman and Director of the ORL Department at the University Hospital in Zürich |
2006-03-17 |
|
Professor Rudolf Probst, Chairman and Director of the ORL Department of the University of Basel has been appointed to the University ORL Chair and as Director of the University ORL Department in Zürich, starting with 1. August 2006. He is also the Founding President of ORL-BAL. Born in 1950, Rudolf Probst was appointed in Basel in 1991. Continuing the long tradition of the Basel Department, which was directed by famous otologists in the past (F. Siebenmann, E. Oppikofer, E. Lüscher and C.R. Pfaltz), he greatly favoured research in the fields of audiology and neurotology, tutoring several important projects fostered by the Swiss National Fund. Cochlear implant and vestibular schwannoma surgery were introduced and developed, a number of specialists were trained in this field and also sent abroad on fellowships. Modern Paedaudiology and Phoniatry were introduced, cooperation with all the hospitals of the BAL Association was instituted and intense CME programmes realised. As long-time President of the Audiology Commission of the Swiss ORL- HNS Society, he has instituted standards in hearing aid fitting and for audiometry equipment in the country. Besides having an enviable publications list, he is active member of several societies, including the Collegium ORLAS. Outstanding traits of Rudolf Probst‘s personality are his scientific, logical and straightforward way of thinking as well as his outgoing and affable character. Members of the ORL-BAL, most of them being also his personal friends of long standing, very much regret his departure, but trust that his continuing membership in the Society of Friends of ORL (Förderverein für ORL) within ORL-BAL also stands for a new and fruitful cooperation between the Zürich Department and the four member institutions of
ORL-BAL. See also picture in our Gallery....

| Yearly course in FESS held for the third time in Graz by Professor Heinz Stammberger for surgeons from Serbia and Montenegro, August 23. and 24. 2005 |
2005-08-31 |
|
For the third time in a yearly sequence, Professor Heinz Stammberger invited thirty ENT specialists from S&M to Graz for a two-day demonstrational course in endoscopic sinus surgery. This time, he adressed mainly those with advanced operative experience: pituitary surgery, CSF fistula repair, endoscopic tumor surgery and new aspects in chronic polyposis were adressed. The audience had ample possibility to follow live surgery and to discuss a number of other topics like DCR, postoperative care and conservative treatment with the host. We would like to thank Professor Stammberger sincerely for his sustained, admirably intense effort in helping propagate modern knowledge on this subject to colleagues who work in less favorable conditions, and we look forward to repeating this course in the future. Our Society has organised and supported this event. Our gratitude also goes to Karl Storz Company for its sustained sponsoring of the course, which has become a tradition, cherished by the colleagues abroad. Photos may be seen under Gallery in the English, and under Galerija on the S&M pages. |

2005-07-21 |

This course was organized due to wholehearted support and efforts of
Prim.Dr. Aleksandar Bajec, head of "Dr D.Misovic-Dedinje", and under
the auspices of the European Rhinologic Society, managed by Doctor
Snezana Stanimirovic, senior specialist at "Dragisa Misovic-Dedinje"
hospital in Belgrade. Renown rhinosurgeon Prof Pirsig, laureate of the
Life Achievement Award of the International Rhinologic Society, held a
four day live rhinosurgery course for otolaryngologists and plastic surgeons of Serbia, Montenegro, Republic of Srpska and Macedonia. Four
closed and four open rhinoplasties were transmitted into the
auditorium,and a lively discussion on all aspects of rhinosurgery and
general patient care ensued between the surgeon and the seventy
attendees throughout the course duration.The organisers extend special thanks to Professor Pirsig, who had already visited Belgrade before and given a course for otolaryngologists together with Professor Huizing from the Netherlands. This first course in live surgery for specialists from several
countries was a great contribution to raising the level of postgraduate
operative education. Therefore, the organizers are very grateful to this demonstration of sustained and friendly support by Professor Pirsig and hope for continued future cooperation. Sponsoring was provided by Karl Storz Germany as main sponsor, as well as by GlaxoSmithKline,who all are sincerely thanked for their endeavours.
