360-Degree Skull Base Course
Microscopic and endoscopic approaches
Join our 4-day course dedicated to microscopic and endoscopic approaches to the skull base.
It has been structured to provide didactic lectures and surgical video demonstrations all broadcasted on a 3D screen, and over 27 hours of hands-on practice on cadavers including dissection sessions covering a broad spectrum of transcranial keyhole, endoscopic, endonasal and combined approaches.
A panel of world-renowned leaders in this field of expertise will deliver lectures focusing on skull base anatomy, transcranial, endoscopic-assisted and endoscopic endonasal approaches as well as therapeutic strategies for skull base lesions.
These topics include acoustic neuroma, microvascular decompression, radiosurgery for skull base lesions, pediatric skull base neurosurgery, brainstem cavernomas, chordomas,
revascularization and reconstruction techniques.
