| Target 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. |
| Topics | One month before the course, we will provide all registered participants with the following lectures in a video format. Participants will be responsible to watch these videos and be familiar with the material. The course will start at a level that assumes familiarity with the concepts exposed in the videos.
Pre-course Principles of Expanded Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches
Pre-course The Sinonasal Corridor
Pre-course Anatomy of the Sinonasal Tract & Skull Base (Extradural)
Pre-course Anatomy of the Cranial Nerves and Cerebral Circulation (Extradural)
Pre-course Reconstruction of the Skull Base: From Free Grafting to Vascularized Flaps
Pre-course Sagittal Plane EEA Modules I: Trans-sellar, Trans-planum, and Trans-cribiform
Pre-course Practical Approach to Imaging of the Cranial Base
Pre-course Endovascular Approach: How I can get you out of trouble (even deep, deep, deep...trouble)
Pre-course Sagittal Plane Modules II: Trans-clival, Trans-odontoid
Pre-course Trans-orbital Endonasal Approaches
Pre-course Endoscopic Anterior Skull Base Resection for Sinonasal Malignancy: Principles and Outcomes
Pre-course Anatomical Basis for the Transpterygoid Approaches
Pre-course Coronal Plane Modules
Pre-course Supraorbital Eyebrow Craniotomy
Pre-course Trans-falcine Gravity-Assisted Craniotomy
Pre-course Supracerebellar Trans-tentorial Gravity-Assisted Craniotomy
In addition, we will provide copies of the prosection videos, a dissection manual in .pdf format, and references. We encourage the participants to go over this material before the course. |
| Description |
This course will provide an extensive immersion in advanced endonasal and transcranial keyhole surgical techniques using didactic and 3D 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. The course emphasis will be on: 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 will include: endoscopic endonasal route including extended approach variations, supraorbital eyebrow craniotomy, mini-pterional craniotomy, gravity-assisted trans-falcine and trans-tentorial 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 parallel sessions on keyhole surgery for neurosurgeons, and endonasal approaches for ENTs/ophthalmologists.
The course comprises:
1. Pre-course video-lectures addressing the basic principles of endoscopic skull base surgery, anatomy of the sinonasal tract and skull base, supraorbital eyebrow craniotomy, trans-falcine gravity-assisted craniotomy, supracerebellar trans-tentorial gravity assisted craniotomy and basic surgical technique and instrumentation. These will be provided to registered participants one month prior to the course, as the program will start at a level that presumes familiarity with these principles.
2. Anatomical prosections (videos will be provided one month prior to the course).
3. Laminated dissection manual (a digital version will be provided one month prior to the course)
4. Sequence of complementary didactic lectures, round tables and panel discussions (open format with
audience participation), 3-D anatomical reviews and hands-on cadaveric dissection.
5. Live surgery will be transmitted directly to the auditorium where the participants may interact with the
surgeons and other members of the faculty. |
| Objectives | At the conclusion of this activity, learners should be able to:
1) Gain an advanced understanding of when and how to utilize endonasal endoscopic and keyhole transcranial approaches
2) Understand and gain experience with endoscopic-assisted keyhole surgery via the supraorbital, mini-pterional, gravity-assisted (trans-falcine and sitting supracerebellar trans-tentorial) and retromastoid approaches
3) Understand the essential instrumentation and ancillary services essential for safe endoscopic endonasal and transcranial keyhole surgery
4) Understand methods of skull base reconstruction and avoidance of CSF leaks and meningitis
5) Understand methods of complication avoidance in endonasal endoscopic and keyhole surgery approaches |
