ABOUT THIS COURSE
This three-day course provides an extensive immersion in advanced endonasal and transcranial keyhole surgical techniques using didactic and anatomical lectures, cadaveric dissections, and live surgery on Day 1. The course faculty are highly experienced and recognized world-experts in minimally invasive endoscopic and keyhole surgery.
Course Emphasis
Patient and approach selection, surgical judgement, anatomical awareness, technical nuances, complication avoidance, maintaining quality of life and optimizing clinical outcomes.
Specific Approaches Discussed and Performed in the Lab
• Endoscopic endonasal route, including extended approach variations
• Supraorbital eyebrow craniotomy
• Mini-pterional craniotomy
• Gravity-assisted transfalcine and transtentorial endoscopic approaches and the retromastoid route
A team approach involving neurosurgery, otolaryngology and neuro-ophthalmology will be stressed, as well as collaboration with neuro-oncology, endocrinology and radiation oncology. The course will have sessions on keyhole surgery for neurosurgeons and endonasal approaches for ENT and ophthalmologists.
Audience
Neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, ENT and rhinologists, plastic surgeons, and neuroophthalmologists and ophthalmologists with some prior experience in endoscopic and keyhole surgery who want to expand their repertoire and capabilities.
