Septorhinoplasty Cadaveric Dissection Course
Fri 11th December 2026 – Brighton and Sussex Medical School
Following the Brighton Oculoplastic and FESS course, this all-day and hands-on session is dedicated to the full range of septorhinoplasty techniques, focusing in particular on structural rhinoplasty. Using fresh-frozen cadavers, delegates will practice open and closed approaches to the nasal framework and the septum and key reconstruction methods in a highly-supervised setting.

Course Highlights

  • One Head per Delegate
  • High faculty-to-delegate ratio with structured step-by-step instruction
  • Focus on functional and structural septorhinoplasty principles
