Description FORMAT
This condensed course was designed for both beginners and advanced surgeons. It concentrates efforts tackling technical challenges common to all surgeons performing endoscopic endonasal surgery. Participants will rotate through four modules: two modules are dedicated to address challenges encountered during the approach (sagittal and coronal planes), one is fully dedicated to reconstructive techniques in various areas of the skull base and another one will afford a unique opportunity to face a simulated carotid rupture. Customized surgical coaching will be provided by the faculty. This is a one of its kind educational activity offering hands-on training and feedback by pioneers in these surgical procedures.
