Given advances in high-definition endoscopy, refined instrumentation and surgical navigation techniques, pituitary surgery has evolved dramatically in terms of safety, efficacy and pituitary gland preservation. A live surgery will provide a limited number of participants a unique learning experience regarding the technical and anatomical nuances of modern pituitary surgery. Attendees will view the operation via large screen high definition monitors and have an ongoing dialogue with neurosurgeon Daniel Kelly and ENT surgeon Chester Griffiths. This optional pre-conference event is open for both surgeons and non-surgeons |
