| Target Audience | Neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists and neurologists interested in developing further knowledge of subcortical intraaxial space and white matter tractography, surgical biometrics and resource optimization. |
| Description | The 6 Pillar Approach is the result of a recent convergence of technologies to manage abnormalities affecting the intraaxial subcortical white matter space. This confluence of technologies has led to development of minimally invasive strategies via progressively smaller surgical corridors to reach and treat abnormalities in a targeted manner. Integration of these technologies is driven by a need to establish clinical and economic value in the delivery of precise targeted treatment in an efficient manner. This value is articulated through Surgical Biometrics. A recorded surgical demonstration of The 6 Pillar Approach for parafascicular surgery of the white matter will be shown, and participants may interact with the surgeons and other members of the faculty.
The course features a hands-on simulation lab session. |
| Objectives | At the conclusion of the course, participants should be able to:
* Appraise and integrate the evolving technology platforms of white matter fascicular image interpretation, trajectory planning and subcortical anatomy.
* Assess principles and techniques of optimum cannulation pathways - Parafascicular Surgery.
* Analyze the advantages (depth of field and tissue differentiation) of the Exoscope.
* Apply the techniques of automation to improve performance curves and efficiency during resection phase for both MIS and conventional craniotomy corridors.
* Apply techniques to optimize tissue capture and viability.
* Examine the current immune-targeted molecular treatments available and the potential ability to deliver these in situ - "The 6th Pillar."
* Examine the limitations of corridor brain port approaches.
* Interpret the value of the 6 Pillar parafascicular approach in comparison to other forms of surgical interventions.
* Examine the efficiency factors that impact Surgical Biometrics analysis. |
