The Tarabichi Stammberger Ear and Sinus Institute (TSESI) is a medical training and research institute in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, focused on endoscopic techniques in otolaryngology. The institute is named for otolaryngologists Muaaz Tarabichi and Heinz Stammberger, who were associated with the development and teaching of endoscopic approaches to ear and sinus surgery.
History
The Tarabichi Stammberger Ear and Sinus Institute was established in Dubai as a centre for training, research, and professional education in endoscopic ear and sinus surgery.[1] The institute was named after Muaaz Tarabichi and Heinz Stammberger, reflecting its focus on endoscopic approaches in otology and rhinology.
Research
Research associated with TSESI and its clinicians has focused on endoscopic ear surgery, middle-ear anatomy, and Eustachian tube procedures. In 2018, Nicholas Jufas and colleagues published an endoscopic anatomical study describing the protympanum, protiniculum, and subtensor recess.[2]
Other published work has examined transtympanic balloon dilatation of the Eustachian tube. A 2018 study by Mustafa Kapadia and Muaaz Tarabichi evaluated the feasibility and safety of the technique,[3] and a 2019 article by Kapadia, Zainab Arsiwala, and Tarabichi outlined evaluation methods and technique for endoscopic transtympanic Eustachian tube dilatation.[4]
