The seminar was inaugurated by state health secretary J Radhakrishnan. The fourth edition of Otorhinolaryngology, a text book written by Dr K K Ramalingam of KKR ENT Hospital, was released by Dr P Ramakrishnan, Dean, Kilpauk Medical College.
The workshop is a joint effort of Dr Ramalingam, Dr A Mahadevaiah of Basavangudi ENT Care Centre, Bengaluru, and Dr P G Viswanathan of Vikram ENT Hospital, Coimbatore, to train the next generation of ENT surgery.
Dr Ravi Ramalingam, ENT surgeon and managing director, KKR ENT Hospital and Research Institute said, �One of the important messages that we would like to pass on to the general public, especially the rural population, is that they should not ignore a persistent ear discharge, which could be chronic suppurativeotitis media (CSOM).�
