| Topics | * Keyhole approaches for brain, pituitary and skull base tumors including the endonasal endoscopic, supraorbital, minipterional, retromastoid and infratentorial supracerebellar routes
* Decision making in keyhole approach selection for skull base meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, chordomas, pituitary adenomas, sinonasal carcinomas and intra-axial brain tumors
* Complication avoidance and CSF leak repair techniques in keyhole surgery
* 3-D sinonasal, skull base and intracranial anatomy |
| Description | This 3-day CME course will consist of didactic sessions and hands-on micro-dissection of fresh-frozen cadavers focusing on minimally invasive keyhole surgical approaches including the endonasal endoscopic, supraorbital, minipterional, retromastoid and infratentorial supracerebellar routes. Indications, technical nuances, anatomical principles and methods of complication avoidance will be discussed. Additional topics will include instrumentation advances and CSF leak repair techniques. |
| Objectives | At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the indications, technical nuances and limits of keyhole approaches including the supraorbital, minipterional, retromastoid and infratentorial supracerebellar approach.
2. Understand sinonasal and skull base surgical anatomy.
3. Describe indications for and technical nuances of the endonasal endoscopic approach to the skull base and brain (sella, suprasellar, planum, cavernous sinus, clivus, paranasal sinuses).
4. Describe methods of CSF leak repair and complication avoidance in endonasal endoscopic surgery and in keyhole craniotomies.
