TSESI Hands-On Cadaver Dissection Courses 2026

TSESI Cadaver Dissection Courses 2026 is a specialized hands-on educational program in otolaryngology organized by the Tarabichi Surgical Excellence & Skills Institute (TSESI). The program is scheduled for 6–12 October 2026 at the Clinical & Surgical Training Center of the University of Sharjah in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. It is designed to provide ENT surgeons and other appropriate healthcare professionals with intensive practical exposure to surgical anatomy, techniques, and approaches used in advanced otolaryngology procedures. The program brings together several specialized courses, including the 2nd TSESI Sleep Surgery Cadaver Dissection Course, the 23rd TSESI Basic & Advanced Endoscopic Sinus Cadaver Dissection Courses, and the 23rd TSESI Endoscopic Ear, Temporal Bone and Cochlear Implant Cadaver Dissection Course. TSESI also highlights its Middle East Rhinoplasty Course as part of its specialized training activities. The program covers procedures and techniques associated with endoscopic ear surgery, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, sleep surgery, advanced frontal sinus surgery, temporal bone surgery, and cochlear implantation. A central feature of the program is its practical, cadaver-based training environment. Participants receive didactic instruction and access to pre-recorded surgical videos before moving into hands-on sessions in which faculty demonstrate surgical techniques and trainees perform dissection under supervision. TSESI states that two trainees are assigned to each dissection table, allowing participants to gain direct practical experience while interacting with experienced faculty. The courses are supported by an international faculty of ENT specialists. Faculty and course directors listed by TSESI include Daniele Marchioni, Peter Baptista, Islam Herzallah, Alireza Mesbahi, Muaaz Tarabichi, Mario Turri-Zanoni, Osama Marglani, Mahdi Shkoukani, Nazik Elfadil, Lubna Khreesha, Michail A. Katotomichelakis, Mustafa Kapadia, and other specialists from the UAE, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Greece, India, Germany, the UK, Canada, and other countries. In addition to technical instruction, TSESI emphasizes interaction between participants and faculty through dialogue, mentorship, demonstrations, and discussion of surgical approaches. The program is intended to help participants translate anatomical and theoretical knowledge into practical surgical skills and improve their understanding of advanced ENT procedures. TSESI also offers scholarship opportunities for young otolaryngologists. The institute states that seven young otolaryngologists may receive sponsorship based on their research and demonstrated work, subject to the scholarship application requirements.
