| Target Audience | Neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons and other skull base surgeons who are interested in learning endoscopic endonasal surgery of the skull base, pituitary fossa, orbit and craniocervical junction. |
| Description | This is a comprehensive course that will thoroughly cover current indications, limitations and surgical techniques for endoscopic endonasal surgery of the skull base, pituitary fossa, orbit and craniocervical junction. Our faculty will present the technical nuances and technological requirements of these surgeries, using a modular anatomical system that can be translated to the dissection laboratory. Current indications, advantages, limitations and outcomes will be discussed.
The course comprises a sequence of complementary didactic lectures, prosections, 3-D anatomical reviews and hands-on cadaver dissection. A live surgical demonstration will be transmitted directly to the auditorium where the participants may interact with the surgeons and other members of the faculty.
|
| Objectives | Following this course, attendees should be able to:
* Understand the anatomic relationships of the sinonasal tract, orbit and ventral skull base from the endoscopic perspective
* Understand the indications and limitations of endoscopic endonasal surgery of the skull base, pituitary fossa, orbit and craniocervical junction
* Understand how to avoid and treat complications of endoscopic endonasal surgery of the skull base, pituitary fossa, orbit and craniocervical junction
