AIT as an essential surgeon’s tool –
Managing nasal obstruction & optimising long-term outcomes
Speaker: Professor Richard Harvey, Rhinologist UNSW and Macquarie University
Achieving long-term relief of nasal obstruction is a key goal for allergic rhinitis patients, particularly for those seeking surgical management. However, allergic rhinitis patients are at higher risk of disease relapse post-surgery due to the ongoing impact of their chronic allergic disease.
Prof. Harvey will explore why ‘disease modifying’ treatment with Allergen Immunotherapy (AIT) should be considered an essential surgeon’s ‘tool’. By targeting the underlying allergy, AIT has potential to provide lasting relief for allergic rhinitis patients. His presentation will cover the key drivers of allergy in Australia, practical aspects of allergy diagnosis and optimal approaches to AIT, informed by the latest evidence and evidence-based guidelines, including recent local studies of AIT in Australia.
