Target Audience: Neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons and other skull base surgeons who are interested in learning endoscopic endonasal surgery of the skull base, pituitary fossa, orbit and craniocervical junction.

Topics:

  • Pre-course Principles of Expanded Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches
  • Pre-course The Sinonasal Corridor
  • Pre-course Anatomy of the Sinonasal Tract & Skull Base (Extradural)
  • Pre-course Anatomy of the Cranial Nerves and Cerebral Circulation (Extradural)
  • Pre-course Reconstruction of the Skull Base: From Free Grafting to Vascularized Flaps
  • Pre-course Sagittal Plane EEA Modules I: Trans-sellar, Trans-planum, and Trans-cribiform
  • Pre-course Practical Approach to Imaging of the Cranial Base
  • Pre-course Endovascular Approach: How I Can Get You Out of Trouble (even deep, deep, deep… trouble)
  • Pre-course Sagittal Plane Modules II: Trans-clival, Trans-odontoid
  • Pre-course Trans-orbital Endonasal Approaches
  • Pre-course Endoscopic Anterior Skull Base Resection for Sinonasal Malignancy: Principles and Outcomes
  • Pre-course Anatomical Basis for the Transpterygoid Approaches
  • Pre-course Coronal Plane Modules

In addition, we will provide copies of the prosection videos, a dissection manual in PDF format, and references. Although not critical, we encourage the participants to go over this material before the course.

Responding to the increased familiarity with endonasal endoscopic skull base surgery, we have modified the program to start at a higher level of expertise, and to promote discussions related to treatment algorithms of specific diseases. However, we recognize the value of refreshing basic concepts; and that our course caters to participants with a variety of levels of training and experience. Therefore, we will provide the participants with a series of video-lectures and video-prosections to fulfill these needs. This video-lecture series will allow the participants to enjoy the benefits of both a traditional lecture-style course based on anatomic and technical concepts, and a course with a new interactive format emphasizing decision-making and disease-oriented discussions. Participants will in fact enroll in two courses, a home study course and the hands-on course without additional costs.
