    The Global Neuro Skull Base course has been developed for neurosurgeons, CMF surgeons, ENT surgeons, and surgeons practicing in related disciplines (eg, trauma surgeons, plastic surgeons, etc

    Languages
    English

    The course is based on the competencies defined in Global Neuro’s curriculum for skull base and features an international and national faculty of experts in the field. It is delivered through a combination of lectures, especially focused on surgical anatomy, pertinent case-based discussions, hands-on dissection and, for the first time, didactic sessions using cadaver-free simulators with augmented virtual reality.

    All didactic sessions will focus on anatomy as well as on concepts, strategies, and modern techniques to deal with the most common skull base and surrounding areas affecting diseases. Dissections will cover the most common microsurgical and endoscopic approaches in a systematically guided manner and will be performed in a high-level laboratory with anatomical specimens and - additionally - parallel sessions with highly equipped augmented virtual reality workstations. Special focus will be given to translate the laboratory experience into the real clinical practice by numerous case discussion sessions and interpersonal face to face relationships during the dissections.

     

    This course addresses the complex anatomical structures of the skull base and surrounding areas, relevant approaches, and current concepts in the surgical management of skull base lesions, including trauma. It will enhance surgical skills in endoscopic and open approaches, with a focus on interdisciplinary management.

    The course also strives to provide an opportunity for participants to debate and exchange ideas and experiences in an open and constructive debate with the leading experts in the field, through a direct and informal face to face experience between teachers and participants.
