L Dear Colleague,
After the success of the congress organized in Saas Fee,Switzerland by Professor Rudolf Hausler, the International Boardof the Politzer Society gives us the privilege to organize the secondInternational Conference on Otosclerosis and Stapes Surgery inBiarritz.
We believe that 2008 will be an excellent time to bring manynew important topics in these areas, genetic, molecular biology,surgical techniques. A specific session will be dedicatedon alternative treatments, medical, hearing aidsand implantable devices.
We hope to achieve some consensus that might be usefulfor all ENT specialists around the world.
In the South West of France, on the Atlantic coast, Biarritz offersa wide range of leisure activities, close to the most modern centersof expertise in science and technology. A city of contrasts andcolours, between the sea, the mountains and the villages of theBasque Country.
Will the hope to welcome you in this state of the art symposiumin the wonderful city of Biarritz.
