About the Course
This three-day course will provide an extensive immersion in advanced endonasal and transcranial keyhole surgical techniques using didactic and anatomical lectures, cadaveric dissections, and a 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
We will cover the 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.
A portion of Day 3 will have sessions on keyhole surgery for neurosurgeons and endonasal approaches for ENTs/ophthalmologists.
Audience
Neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists/ENT/rhinologists, plastic surgeons, and neuro-ophthalmologists/ophthalmologists with some prior experience in endoscopic and keyhole surgery who want to expand their repertoire and capabilities.
