Lunch Symposium: Intracapsular Tonsillectomy-The story so far
12:40-13:20
Asia Oceania Association General Assembly
Chairperson: Shyan Vijayasekaran.

Presenter: Niall Jefferson



The clinical evidence to support the establishment of the Intracapsular Tonsillectomy procedure as a standard of care in sleep disordered breathing and recurrent tonsillitis in adults and paediatrics, continues to strengthen. Across Australia and New Zealand, but also globally, there has been some increase in advocating for this approach.

The advantages in terms of patient safety, bleeding, pain, return to normal activity etc are increasingly compelling with the wholistic Fiscal advantages for the healthcare system very much front and centre.

In the face of this evidence, uptake of the procedure remains surprisingly sluggish.

In this talk Dr Niall Jefferson discusses the reasons why this might be the case and debunks some common myths along the way.

Lunch Symposium: Intracapsular Tonsillectomy-The story so far
12:40-13:20
Asia Oceania Association General Assembly
Chairperson: Shyan Vijayasekaran.

Presenter: Niall Jefferson



The clinical evidence to support the establishment of the Intracapsular Tonsillectomy procedure as a standard of care in sleep disordered breathing and recurrent tonsillitis in adults and paediatrics, continues to strengthen. Across Australia and New Zealand, but also globally, there has been some increase in advocating for this approach.

The advantages in terms of patient safety, bleeding, pain, return to normal activity etc are increasingly compelling with the wholistic Fiscal advantages for the healthcare system very much front and centre.

In the face of this evidence, uptake of the procedure remains surprisingly sluggish.

In this talk Dr Niall Jefferson discusses the reasons why this might be the case and debunks some common myths along the way.

Intracapsular Tonsillectomy-The story so far

Proudly brought to you by
Smith & Nephew(1228 × 734 px)

Insert synopsis here

Chairperson: Shyan Vijayasekaran

Dr Niall Jefferson

The clinical evidence to support the establishment of the Intracapsular Tonsillectomy procedure as a standard of care in sleep disordered breathing and recurrent tonsillitis in adults and paediatrics, continues to strengthen. Across Australia and New Zealand, but also globally, there has been some increase in advocating for this approach.

The advantages in terms of patient safety, bleeding ,pain ,return to normal activity etc are increasingly compelling with the wholistic Fiscal advantages for the healthcare system very much front and centre.

In the face of this evidence, uptake of the procedure remains surprisingly sluggish.

In this talk Dr Niall Jefferson discusses the reasons why this might be the case and debunks some common myths along the way.”

The CRSwNP treatment paradigm and the place of biologics: MDT insights with a focus on targeting IL-5

Integrating anti-IL-5 into CRSwNP Management, Richard Harvey 

Experiences and reflections on anti-IL-5 for Respiratory therapy, Simon Bowler

Facilitated Q&A

CRSwNP affects 2-4% of the general population and may have a substantial impact on the quality of life of many patients.2,3 In recent years, the role of the immune system in the pathophysiology of recurrent nasal polyps has been uncovered – identifying new pathways and treatments.4,5 With the introduction of biologics in the treatment of CRSwNP, there is a need for understanding the role they will play in the treatment paradigm.

 

In this symposium, you will hear from one of Australia’s leading rhinologists, Prof Richard Harvey, who will discuss current management of CRSwNP and the role of biological treatment for CRSwNP. In addition, Prof Harvey, will discuss the evidence behind the efficacy and safety of Nucala (mepolizumab, an anti-IL-5) for treating patients with CRSwNP. Prof Harvey will be joined by A/Prof Simon Bowler who will share his vast experience with the efficacy and safety of biologics, including Nucala, in the management of another chronic respiratory condition: severe asthma.
