Dear colleagues,

It gives me great pleasure to announce that we will be holding the 3rd PONS congress in January 2024. Due to the unparalleled interest from colleagues across the country as well as other countries, as promised we decided to hold the 3rd one with 2 major goals.
First, in the past few years, there have been many notable advancements regarding diagnosis and medical and surgical treatments for existing pathologies. Presenting these updates can help raise the level of knowledge in the field of otology and neurotology in our country.
Second, as a result of the advancement of technology, new treatment options are introduced. It is important for us to form a consensus around selecting and modifying treatment protocols that align best with the socioeconomic status of our patients. Gatherings like this help us achieve these goals.
Hence due to the undeniable progression in science and medical facilities, we must compensate and keep ourselves up to date. On these grounds, I would like to invite you to actively participate and welcome your suggestions and ideas. Hope to see you all in a friendly and scientific atmosphere.
