Department Head Report
Dr. P. Kerr
.
I am pleased to report another successful year for the Dept. of
Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Manitoba.
Heartfelt thanks to all our staff and trainees that make this such a
great department.
The department continues offer a complete range of care covering
all the major subspecialties. We were pleased to welcome Dr. Andrea Darnbrough on staff in
2014. She is a Fellowship Trained Laryngologist who will be augmenting the airway, voice
and swallowing care within the WRHA. Dr. Darnbrough’s practice will primarily be based
out of the MB Clinic and HSC. Her Fellowship training in McGill University with Dr. Karen
Kost has enabled her to bring back a host of new skills to our program. She and Dr. Jodi Jones
will establish the first formal Pediatric Voice Clinic in the WRHA. We are delighted with her
decision to return to Winnipeg.
The Cochlear Implant and Bone Anchored Hearing Aid Program has been tremendously
successful thanks to the great work of Drs. Les Garber, Jordan Hochman, and Darren Leitao.
The program has had excellent management by Mr. Justin Pisa. The Winnipeg Regional
Health Authority celebrated our implantation of the 100th cochlear device, only 3 years after
the program’s inception.
The H&N Surgical Oncology division had the pleasure of training its first Fellow. Dr.
Mohammed Alessa completed his training in June, 2014 and returned to an academic clinical
post in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Under the strong program directorship of Dr. Donna Sutherland, our residency training
program continues to be fully approved by the RCPSC. Our graduate residents were both
successful in completing the RCPSC Fellowship Exam in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck
Surgery this past year. Our graduates continue to enter advanced subspecialty training and
general practice in roughly equal proportions. Our resident trainees continue to excel in a
variety of areas in addition to clinical practice: Dr. Trung Le won a top resident research
award from the Triological Society for his work with Dr. Brian Blakely on sensorineural
hearing loss. Dr. Ali Esmail completed entrepreneurial training at McMaster University,
successfully launching a company that markets software which facilitates timely electronic
communication of patient information amongst caregivers, in a secure fashion.
Dr. Jordan Hochman is leading the department in research, working his way to the forefront in
the field of surgical simulation. The Robotics and Simulation Laboratory jointly run by Dr.
Hochman and the Faculty of Engineering continues to develop both computer-based haptic
systems, and 3-D structural models for simulation. This work is generating international
attention, as a potential means to improve surgical training.

Educational Reports
Postgraduate Director Report
Dr. D. Sutherland
The 2013-2014 Academic year was a busy one with the Royal
College Accreditation occurring in February 2014. Our program
was reviewed by Dr. Ravi Sidhu, Vascular Surgeon from the University of British Columbia.
The Royal College report was very complementary to everybody involved in the program and
we received full accreditation with review at the next regular cycle.
Otolaryngology, along with Medical Oncology, has been selected by the Royal College to be
the first programs to undergo transition to Competency Based Medical Education (CBME).
In that regard, specialty committee meetings were held in Ottawa in the spring and fall of
2014. More planning and work sessions on CBME are planned for the upcoming year. This
promises to be an exciting and busy time for our specialty and our program.
Dr. Emad Massoud from Dalhousie University in Halifax joined us as our visiting Professor
for the 2013-2014 Department of Otolaryngology Resident Research Day. Dr. Trung Le won
this year’s award for his presentation on “Mannitol and the Blood-Labyrinth Barrier”, and
there was also an honorable mention for Dr. Dana Wong’s presentation on “Comparison of
Cadaveric and Isomorphic Virtual Haptic Simulation in Temporal Bone Education.” Several
residents attended the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology meeting in Ottawa where they
participated in poster and podium presentations. Dr. Le and Dr. Khalil were also invited to
present their research at American otolaryngology research meetings.
We are looking
forward to welcoming Dr. Sam Daniels from Montreal as our Visiting Professor for Resident
Research Day on May 7&8, 2015.
In June, 2014, Dr. Bella Wu successfully completed her ENT Residency Program at the
University of Manitoba with successful completion of her Royal College Examinations. She
leaves Manitoba to go work in Vancouver, BC. Our program welcomed two new PGY-1
residents to the 2014-2015 Academic Year. Nicholas Janusz joins us from the University of

DEPARTMENT OF OTOLARYNGOLOGY – HEAD AND NECK SURGERY
Research Director Report
Dr. Brian Blakley
The Department of Otolaryngology’s Research program is
progressing. It seems fair to say that there are three main themes:
Medical Education Methods, Virtual reality / simulation and
ototoxicity. This is a nice breadth of expertise for such a small
department and exceeds most other departments comparatively.
Next year it appears that a new otologic research fund for residents and students will be
available due to a generous donor.
Residents are the driving force behind the success of the program which aims to balance
research and clinical duties appropriately.
Research Day was held May 2. Dr. Emad Massoud from Dalhousie was our visiting
professor. Presentations included:
Dana Wong - Comparison of Cadaveric and Isomorphic Virtual Haptic Simulation in
Temporal Bone Education
Trung Le - Mannitol and the Blood-Labyrinth Barrier
Alex Thielman - A Review of Age-related Hearing Loss and Antioxidants
Paige Moore - Incidence of Vestibular Schwannoma in patients with unilateral vestibula
dyysfunction and, preoperative management of Brugada syndrome in upper airway surgery
Veronica Wong - Clinical Application of VEMP
Diana Kahlil - T3 laryngeal cancer survival rates: concurrent chemoradiation versus total
laryngectomy
Serena Nelko - Making Lectures Click: Audience response clickers in Otolaryngology-Head
and Neck Surgery pre-clerkship medical education
Michael Gousseau - Mobile-based Audience Response Systems
DaveRishi Pahwa - ResEval: Implementing a Mobile-Based App for Resident Evaluations

The highlight for 2013 was the inaugural Prairie Otolaryngology
Weekend. This was held from August 23-25, 2013 at Lakeview
Hecla Resort and Conference Centre. The meeting was well attended and included a variety
of speakers. The conference targeted Otolaryngologists, residents and medical students
from Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The scientific program was accredited by the Royal
College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the University Of Manitoba College Of
Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences. The feedback from the conference was excellent.
The 2nd Annual Prairie Otolaryngology Weekend was held at the Elkhorn Resort, Spa and
Conference Centre, August 22-24, 2014. Once again we were joined by students and
physicians from Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We also welcomed Dr. Trina Uwiera, Pediatric
Otolaryngologist from Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, as our special guest speaker.
The feedback from the conference was once again very positive. We are looking forward to
2015 which is to be held in Saskatchewan.
In addition to our regular scheduled series, we also enjoyed a lecture from Dr. Satnam
Najjar, Neurologist on the management of headache and its relationship to sinus disease and
Otolaryngology in March 2014.
In late 2013, we initiated online evaluations for regular scheduled series in an effort to
minimize paper. Members of the department are encouraged regularly to complete these
evaluations.

St. Boniface Hospital
Section Head Report
Dr. F. Gigi Osler
St. Boniface Hospital (SBH) was first established in 1871 and has
a long tradition of excellence and caring. SBH strives to provide
Manitobans with the highest quality health care possible by
anticipating and responding to community needs. As a leader in patient care, research, and
education, the hospital maintains the highest ethical standards, respects life and human
dignity, and is committed to the populations it serves.
St. Boniface Hospital is a tertiary care facility, a teaching hospital, and the second busiest
hospital in Winnipeg. The hospital campus is comprised of more than 180 departments and
services, which are located in seven separate buildings and situated on 20 acres of land. It
also operates several satellite facilities and maintains close relationships with other health
facilities as well as the health agencies of the Grey Nuns network.
From July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014, the Section of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck
Surgery (Oto-HNS) at St. Boniface Hospital provided care to patients in the emergency
department, outpatient clinics, and inpatient units. There were over 4,000 patient visits to the
Oto-HNS outpatient clinics and close to 1,500 patients treated in the main operating rooms
for Oto-HNS procedures. The SBH rotation continues to provide outstanding Rhinology
teaching to the residency program under the expert guidance of Drs. Richard Gall, Eric Meen
and Gigi Osler and maintains the province’s only CT-navigated sinus surgery system. Dr.
Mark Barker continues to provide the residency program with Laryngology teaching and
clinical expertise. Drs. Kerr, Sutherland and Viallet continue to provide excellent head and
neck surgical oncology teaching with many of Manitoba’s head and neck surgical oncology
procedures performed at SBH.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Surgical Hearing Implant Program
Medical Co-Director
Dr. D. Leitao
The Surgical Hearing Implant Program (SHIP) was established in
2011 to provide Manitobans with access to the most advanced
medical technologies for hearing loss, right here in Manitoba.
Over the past year, the SHIP has continued to meet its’ mission by providing Bone Anchored
Hearing Aids (BAHA) and Cochlear Implants (CI) to almost 70 patients, ensuring these
Manitobans an improved quality of life.
BAHA subprogram:
The BAHA subprogram provides access to surgically implantable bone-anchored hearing aid
technology. The program has progressively grown in numbers, surpassing expectations.
The number of requests for consultations grew by 58% over program estimates, to 76
consultations in 2014. Despite this, we reduced our surgical wait times by 16% through
increased surgical activity. The BAHA subprogram continues to experience challenges.
Currently, we are the only defined program in the province offering BAHA programming and
clinical services. Over one-third of our clients are patients implanted out of province prior to
2010, seeking long term management.
This non-surgical volume poses significant
challenges for our small program with a growing list of new surgical candidates. The SHIP is
currently exploring innovative ways to service and support existing BAHA patients by
meeting with hospital representatives, and exploring partnerships with the community to
deliver necessary services.
CI subprogram:
The CI subprogram continues to achieve milestones and miracles each year. In 2014, we
were able to implant 40 patients, both children and adults, ensuring our program maximized
the services we can provide to Manitobans. The program has reviewed the patient journey,
and streamlined our processes to reduce patient wait times. Surgery wait times continue to
improve, decreasing by 20% from 2013.
In November 2014, we achieve a significant
th
milestone- the 100 cochlear implant insertion by our program- which led to local and
provincial media coverage. The WRHA, HSC, and SHIP provided the media with access to
both a pediatric and adult cochlear implant recipient, as well as our team of audiologists,
therapists, and surgeons, to demonstrate how life-changing this technology is. A universal
newborn hearing screening program is soon to be introduced in 2016, and the SHIP is
preparing to support the children and families that may require its services.
Our Surgical Hearing Implant Program continues to search for ways to provide our
community with the best hearing health care. We have continued to progressively shorten
wait times. We are growing our outcomes monitoring capabilities, to ensure that our patients
are getting the best benefit. We have begun steps to grow our research activity, starting with
outcomes research on BAHAs, and benefits of cochlear implants in areas of expanding
clinical indications. Our program continues to advocate for sustainable ways to support
hearing impaired individuals, and improve their quality of life.

Children’s Hospital
Section Head
Dr. D. Leitao
The section of Pediatric Otolaryngology experienced a number of
“firsts” in 2014.
We welcomed Dr. Andrea Darnbrough to our staff of 5 pediatric surgeons, bringing her
wealth of experience in adult laryngology to her care of children. Our Pediatric Voice Clinic
will see growth and innovation through the collaborations of Drs. Darnbrough and Jones as
they develop this area of practice.
Drs. Gooi, Leitao, and Jones have been collaborating with Pediatric Anesthesia on the
development of novel techniques of oxygen delivery during endoscopic airway surgery. This
work has resulted in improved care in children undergoing complex airway surgery, and was
presented at international research forums.
Key investments in surgery included high definition camera systems for microsurgery,
specialized suspension arms for safer oral surgery, and the advent of balloon dilatation
procedures for endoscopic airway surgery. Ear surgical approaches are advancing beyond
the microscope to endoscopic techniques. We have made investments in the instrumentation
and the required knowledge base to bring these minimally invasive techniques to Manitoba.
Research continues to be a priority for our service. Our surgeons, together with the
Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba, participated in phase 3 randomized
clinical trials this year, helping to bring new pharmaceuticals to market that will help children
with ear disease in the future.
It has been an exciting year of “firsts”, as we continue to provide our patients with the best
treatments available, anywhere in the world
