INVITATION

Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the home page of Sialendoscopy Istanbul 3.

This is a two-day event which will be held on November 21st and 22nd, 2025, in Istanbul, Türkiye. Full details of the scientific program can be found on our website.

This year’s meeting will have two international speakers: Prof. Dr. Michael Koch from Erlangen University, Germany and Prof. Dr. Rohan Walvekar from Louisiana State University, New Orleans, U.S.A. Both of them have published extensively in the field of sialendoscopy and are globally renowned for their contributions in this field. Including the speakers from Türkiye, participants will be able to listen to their lectures, discuss with them cases, have a hands-on training, and follow a live surgery from Prof. Dr. Michael Koch.

The course is designed to engage participants at all levels—from beginners to advanced practitioners—with the aim of fostering enthusiasm and expertise in the field of sialendoscopy.

Highlights of the course include:

• A full day of lectures delivered by renowned national and international experts. The day will also feature roundtable discussions and live surgical demonstrations.
• Lectures are designed in such a fashion that participants will be able gain fundamental knowledge from basic level up to the most recent research and developments, including works on different treatment options for stones of different compositions and robotic surgery.
• A second day dedicated to hands-on cadaver dissection, using five fresh-frozen cadaver heads (fully equipped), with a maximum of four attendees per unit to ensure an optimal learning experience.

For those who would like to use their spare time to complement their visit with other attractions, Istanbul is the place, with sightseeing, culture, and history.

We look forward to welcoming you to Istanbul.

Best regards,
