They will present individual cases prior to embarking upon surgery. Each presentation will be performed in Powerpoint format via the LION videoconference network by the moderators prior each corresponding surgical procedure. It will detail the history and clinical features together with audiological findings, and other investigations felt to be relevant. The operating surgeon will outline his thoughts and the reasoning behind the method he intends to employ to explore and repair the defect. Panel Discussion : During this live broadcast there will be extra alloted time for a panel discussion following the live surgery session. Because of the real time interactive ability of the LION HD Network this discussion will be similar to any panel discussion at major conferences. It will give the opportunity for the audience to tackle the panel on their individual views. You can also put questions to the panelists via the moderators by email : lion2009@lion-web.org. The group of Moderators at LION’s Utrecht Hub will present a selection of cases both straightforward and complex to the participating surgeons. Each case will be illustrated by at least 3 Powerpoint slides detailing history, appearances and audiological findings. The surgical panel will be asked to comment on their individual reasoning and strategy for treatment and repair of the perforation, if they feel appropriate.
