W&H Med: International Dorsal Preservation Course in Coventry


On April 17 and 18, 2026, W&H Med hosted an exclusive hands-on course on dorsal preservation in rhinoplasty in Coventry, United Kingdom. Fifteen experienced surgeons from seven countries took advantage of the two-day training to deepen their practical knowledge in modern dorsum-preserving techniques under the guidance of renowned experts.

The two-day intensive course was deliberately designed for a small, international group, thus enabling a particularly high level of practical training and intensive professional exchange. Following in-depth theoretical sessions, the participants were able to immediately apply their knowledge in practice and perform dorsal preservation procedures under realistic conditions using the W&H Med Console, which combines a surgical motor and piezo technology in a single system.

Fifteen surgeons participated in the dorsal preservation course.

This combination supports precise, tissue-preserving work and enables controlled cutting guidance, especially supporting dorsal preservation procedures.

Expertise at the Highest Level

The course was led by three internationally recognised rhinoplasty specialists: Dr Alwyn D’Souza (United Kingdom), Dr Anil Joshi (United Kingdom), and Dr Milos Kovacevic (Germany). With their longtime clinical experience and didactic expertise, they guided the participants through all course modules and provided practical insights into advanced surgical techniques. Particularly appreciated were the direct professional exchange with the experts, the personal supervision during the hands-on sessions, and the immediate implementation of new surgical approaches.

During the hands-on session, participants had the opportunity to try out the methods on human specimens.

Dorsal preservation requires a high level of precision and control. In this course, we were able to intensively discuss and directly apply modern techniques within a highly focused group. Especially during the hands-on sessions, participants had the opportunity to experience the benefits of piezo technology firsthand.

Next course: Swiss Rhinoplasty Masterclass 2026

Another key event in the international continuing education calendar follows in autumn 2026:
The 2nd Swiss Rhinoplasty Masterclass will take place on October 15 and 16, 2026, at the IBRA Institute in Liestal and Basel, Switzerland, with W&H Med represented as a technical supporter.

During the hands-on sessions, participants worked with the W&H Med Console, a combination of the Amadeo and Piezomed Pro devices.

The two-day masterclass brings together nine internationally renowned speakers at Switzerland’s most advanced training centre and is aimed at experienced surgeons who wish to further deepen their expertise in functional, aesthetic, and preservative rhinoplasty. “The program includes top-class lectures, interactive discussion formats, and an intensive hands-on cadaver workshop where modern surgical techniques – including preservative and piezo-based approaches – will be taught in a highly practical manner,” explains Tamara Hinnen, Sales Manager W&H Switzerland.
