Dear Otorhinolaryngologists, audiologists and scientists,
We welcome you in Bruges, the Venice of the North, for the 109th Congress of the
Royal Belgian Society for Ear, Nose, Throat, Head & Neck Surgery.
This congress aims to highlight recent advances in our different fields and to provide a
clear take home message useful in daily practice. A faculty of high-level international
presenters will be present.
On Friday a multitude of sessions will tackle different problems by specialists in
the field such as facial pain; current indications and limits of robot surgery; sleep
disordered breathing from diagnosis to surgery. Fungal chronic rhinosinusitis will be
approached by different masters in the field. A session by young promising colleagues
brings us their findings in rhinology.
For the third year in row we welcome B-Audio. This year sessions will focus on topics
as bone conduction, neuroaudiology and vestibular function under the presidency of
professor Jan Wouters.
The Saturday sessions will concern specific topics in otology and rhinology. The otology
sessions will cover amongst others: pain and inflammation in otology, otolith testing,
M-meatoplasty, exposure in tympanoplasty. Those attending the rhinology sessions
will learn from experts in the field about treatment modalities in adenocarcinoma,
nasal polyposis and complications in acute rhinosinusitis.
I wish you all an interesting congress and look forward for your active collaboration
in raising the standard of care and knowledge in our constant changing field of
Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery and Audiology.
Moreover it might be the occasion to visit and enjoy our city, its patrimonial treasures,
excellent restaurants and the Amsterdam Philharmonic Orchestra on Saturday
evening.
Warmest regards ,
dr. Stephan Vlaminck

Concert
Every year Belgium’s musical press (Union de la
Presse Musicale/ Vereniging van de Belgische
Muziekpers) awards a prize to a young Belgian
musician. The 2010 laureate was the pianist Julien Libeer, born in 1987. Pianist Julien Libeer is
one of the most outstanding pianists of his generation. He is artist in residence at the Queen
Elisabeth Music Chapel, where he studied with
the renowned pianist Maria João Pires. He will
be accompanying Sarah Laulan, mezzo-soprano and winner of the 3rd Prize at the 2014 Queen
Elisabeth Music Competition. She is a participating member of the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel Opera Studio. Ms. Laulan currently studies
under the tutelage of José Van Dam, Jocelyne
Dienst, Alain Garichot and Helmut Deutsch.
Enjoy the virtuoso performances of works!
Walking dinner
Port House De Caese is a historic building dating from 1765. It used to be the official
residence of the treasurer of the ‘Brugse Vrije’, which succeeded in building up a
rich patrimony during the Ancien Régime. Today it is the pied-à-terre of the Port of
Zeebrugge and the local chamber of commerce VOKA.
It is always a privilege to be able to have a look inside such a richly decorated house.
Behind the abundant rococo house front you can admire a superbly sculpted stairway,
sublime furniture, rich tinsel and elegantly draped textile. The restoration of the entire
premises shows taste, not a single element disturbs the harmony.
The rear side of the building is in classicistic style and gives out onto the ‘Reien’, the
picturesque medieval Bruges’ canals. In addition the terrace lies adjacent to the
water. You could easily imagine yourself in Venice!
