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)
