Course Description and Learning Objectives
Through lectures and case-based discussions, attendants will acquire basics anatomical knowledge, indications, techniques and complications of ventricular-cerebral and skull base endoscopic procedures.
Hands-on will be boot camps where trainees will progressively acquire skills in the management of neuro-endoscopic instruments in non-anatomic and anatomic simulators.
Faculty will include neurosurgeons and ENT surgeons
At the end of the course attendants will be able to:
- Discuss indications for surgical treatment of ventricular-cerebral and skull base lesions
- Perform endoscopic ventricular-cerebral and/or endonasal approaches to the anterior skull base (according to Hands-on selection)
Designed for: Fellows and Seniors Neurosurgeons and Otorhinolaryngologists
