Welcome message

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of MSOA , I have the honor and the pleasure to invite you to participate in the 13th International Meeting of the Mediterranean Society of Otology and Audiology, that this year will be organized in Naples (Italy) on 26-29 October 2012.

Naples is one of the most attractive city in the world, in the middle of the Mediterranean area and has always played a key role in linking different cultures.

The city has seen over the centuries a succession of different historical periods and who have left their mark both, in the architecture and in the traditions of the Neapolitan people. It is here that you will meet prominent Otologists and Audiologists from all Mediterranean Countries to discuss about the main theme of this important appointment:

"The Challenges of modern Otology"

As such the congress will bring together clinicians and researchers from all over the world who are dedicated to the many aspects of Otology and Audiology. The program will include plenary lectures, panel discussions, live surgery, selected presentations from submitted abstracts and ample opportunity will be provided for interactive discussions.

I'm looking forward to meeting you in Naples in October 2012.

Antonio della Volpe, MD
