WELCOME
Sialendoscopy is a prime example of the shifting paradigms in surgery
which have irrevocably changed the landscape of our specialty. This
new paradigm in the management of sialadenitis and calculi has
in large measure drastically reduced the need for open surgery for
removal of salivary ductal stones or non-malignant salivary glands.
This new approach has modified our thinking about these problems
and has drastically reduced many of the complications inherent in the
open approaches.
Sialendoscopes and instruments for sialendoscopy, developed by Professor Marchal in
close collaboration with Karl Storz, allow us to accomplish a variety of important tasks,
such as: pulverizing calculi with a laser, retrieving calculi with a forceps or a basket,
biopsy of lesions, removing granulation tissue, or irrigating and dilating stenotic ducts.
Successful application of sialendoscopy, as with all minimally invasive procedures,
requires a well-organized training program. More than 600 Surgeons from around
the world have attended the many courses that Professor Marchal has organized with all
the ESTC Group in Geneva. In these courses didactic material is supplemented by a
robust “hands-on” animal laboratory experience. Live surgery is transmitted during these
courses in 3D, which is an extraordinary new tool improving teaching. Such an intensive
educational experience is necessary to assure a firm foundation for the surgeon wishing
to perform sialendoscopy.
The American Academy of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS),
the European Academy of Otolaryngology Head and neck Surgery (EAORL-HNS), as well
as the International Federation of ORL Societies (IFOS), the European Union for Medical
Specialists (UEMS) and the Asia Oceania Association of Otolaryngological Societies will
be supporting this First International Sialendoscopy Conference, adding further luster to
this meeting. This will provide an unparalleled opportunity for those in attendance to learn
the techniques of sialendoscopy.
We wish you a pleasant stay in Geneva,
Eugene N. Myers
M.D., F.A.C.S., F.R.C.S., Edin (Hon)
Distinguished Professor of Otolaryngology

Dear colleagues,
The organizing committee wishes you a warm welcome to Geneva for
this First International Sialendoscopy Conference (FISC2012).
We would like to express our thanks to Professor Eugene N Myers,
for honoring us with his presence.
We are extremely happy to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the
Sialendoscopy hands-on courses launched in Geneva. We had the opportunity to train
physicians from all continents for this challenging technique, and the strong collaboration
between us has allowed the creation of the European Sialendoscopy Training Center
(ESTC). The originality of ESTC courses is that they are always dispensed by a vast group
of experts from all around the world.
Organising a conference on a small topic of our speciality was a challenge, and we can be
very grateful towards our colleagues: out of 200 meeting participants from all continents,
more than 70 ESTC faculties do attend. We thank them for their important scientific
contribution. We will have 21 key-note lectures, 6 round tables, 37 oral communications
and 20 abstracts. The best oral presentation and the best poster will be selected by a
committee of famous international experts, and win Karl Storz awards.
The University of Geneva, the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the
General Beaulieu Clinic, the Medical Beaulieu Society, the AAORL-HNS, the EAORL-HNS,
the IFOS, the AOAOS, and the UEMS ORL section will be supporting this highly specialised
sialendoscopy conference.
We would like also to thank the remarquable support from the Karl Storz company for
the development of sialendoscopy and it’s events.
The social program has not been forgotten, and we will do our best to make this FISC2012
as enjoyable as possible. We wish you a pleasant stay in Geneva.
