Abstract
The Congress “Pluzhnikov Readings: The First Eurasian International School of Young Otorhinolaryngologists” was held in Astana in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The congress was dedicated to the 60th anniversary of Astana Medical University and the memory of the iconic otorhinolaryngologist Professor Marius Pluzhnikov, who became a mentor for a whole generation of otorhinolaryngologists. This congress for “extraordinary” Pluzhnikov readings was originally conceived by Academician of the National Academy of Sciences Rice Tulebayev and Professor Sergey Karpishchenko. During the congress, a master class on modern endoscopic surgery was held at the otolaryngological clinic of BMC UDP and NCC ENT Center at the first city hospital of Astana. Well-known scientists and experts from different cities and countries spoke to the participants, who shared their rich experiences. Specialists-otorhinolaryngologists, immunologists, radiologists, therapists, and pediatricians had a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the latest international achievements in otorhinolaryngology, ask questions to lecturers, and take part in discussions.
