Bielefeld/Seoul, 9 November 2026. Prof. Dr. med. Dr. rer. nat. Holger Sudhoff, head of Kopfzentrum Bielefeld, has been re-elected President of the Politzer Society in Seoul. His term of office now runs until 2029. The re-election underlines the trust that international colleagues place in his work and in his commitment to scientific collaboration in otology.

As serving president, Sudhoff also opened the Politzer Society congress in Seoul. In his opening address he welcomed the international participants and thanked the Korean hosts and the organising committee for their hospitality and for preparing the scientific meeting.

Sudhoff stressed the particular importance of personal exchange: discussing difficult clinical questions together, learning from one another and building long-term scientific partnerships are essential to further developing care for people with ear diseases and hearing loss.

Involving the next generation of scientists and physicians was a particular concern for him. He encouraged young colleagues to ask questions, to critically question established ideas and to play an active part in the international professional community.

With his renewed presidency, Kopfzentrum Bielefeld remains closely connected to international scientific exchange. Sudhoff combines his clinical work in Bielefeld with research and teaching, particularly on middle ear surgery, the lateral skull base and Eustachian tube dysfunction.
