What defines excellence in modern rhinology?

At Rhino Egypt Conference 2026, the answer was not theoretical. It was demonstrated through live surgical debates, advanced cadaveric training, and evidence driven discussions led by global leaders in endoscopic sinus surgery, rhinoplasty, and skull base intervention.

Held in early February 2026, the conference brought together 1,350 physical attendees and 40 international experts, positioning Rhino Egypt as one of the most comprehensive and practice focused ENT scientific meetings in the Middle East and Africa. The conference was accredited with 14.0 European CME Credits, reflecting alignment with European standards in continuing medical education and reinforcing its international credibility.

A Scientifically Dense and Practice Oriented Program

The scientific program was structured across multiple parallel halls to cover the full spectrum of contemporary rhinology and related subspecialties, combining evidence- based medicine, surgical innovation, and real world clinical decision making. The agenda reflected current global priorities in ENT practice, with a strong focus on complex anatomy, advanced technology, and patient centered outcomes.

Key scientific pillars included:

Advanced Endoscopic Sinus Surgery and Skull Base Approaches

Extensive sessions addressed complex FESS techniques, frontal sinus surgery, management of CSF rhinorrhea, and extended endonasal skull base procedures. Faculty shared practical strategies for complication avoidance, reconstruction algorithms, and safe navigation of high-risk anatomy, alongside panels discussing current controversies in benign tumors and skull base pathology.

Rhinoplasty From Fundamentals to Extreme Revision

 Rhino Egypt 2026 delivered a comprehensive rhinoplasty track covering primary, secondary, and complex revision cases. Topics included dorsal preservation versus structural approaches, cartilage grafting, osteotomy techniques, nasal tip refinement, and Middle Eastern specific anatomical considerations. Instructional courses and expert panels focused on difficult cases, aesthetic balance, and long-term functional stability.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Airway Surgery

The program featured an integrated approach to OSA, combining ENT, maxillofacial, and sleep medicine perspectives. Sessions explored drug induced sleep endoscopy, multilevel airway surgery, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, skeletal interventions, conservative management strategies, and patient selection criteria, reflecting the evolving role of ENT surgeons in comprehensive airway management.

Rhinosinusitis, Allergy, and the Biologic Era

Several sessions focused on chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, fungal sinus disease, and immunotherapy. A dedicated track examined the biologic revolution in type II CRSwNP, addressing patient selection, long term outcomes, and the ongoing debate between surgical intervention and biologic therapy, one of the most discussed topics in contemporary rhinology.

Innovation and Artificial Intelligence in Rhinology

Artificial intelligence featured prominently throughout the program, with sessions exploring AI applications in imaging, diagnosis, surgical planning, and outcome prediction. These discussions highlighted the growing role of digital health and data driven tools in shaping the future of ENT practice.

Hands On Surgical Training at the Core

A defining strength of Rhino Egypt Conference 2026 was its strong emphasis on experiential learning. The program included 7 cadaver dissection workshops, covering basic and advanced FESS, frontal sinus surgery, pituitary and cavernous sinus approaches, hybrid and preservation rhinoplasty, hypoglossal nerve stimulation techniques, and complex nasopharyngeal anatomy.

Led by internationally recognized faculty, these workshops offered participants direct exposure to advanced surgical techniques in a controlled environment, enabling the translation of theory into confident clinical practice.

International Faculty and Regional Leadership

With 40 international experts physically attending, Rhino Egypt 2026 from Italy, Turkey, Greece, Canada, Netherlands, KSA, UAE, Oman, Libya, Jordan, and Sudan, served as a global platform for scientific exchange. The interaction between international, regional, and national faculty members enriched discussions, facilitated transfer of best practices, and strengthened Egypt’s role as a regional hub for advanced ENT education.

Reflecting on the conference vision, Prof. Reda Kamel, President of Rhino Egypt Conference, stated:

“Rhino Egypt was established to advance rhinology through serious science, hands on training, and open exchange of expertise. The 2026 edition reflects our commitment to precision, innovation, and preparing ENT surgeons for the realities of modern practice”.
