On this edition participants will have the chance to explore and understand the most common endoscopic approaches to the brain and skull base. Experts on this topic will share their knowledge and will assist the trainees during the dissections.
Three-dimensional understanding of the fiber system covering the lateral and third ventricles and its implication on surgery for intraventricular tumors
Review and perform endoscopic approaches to the lateral ventricles, perform endoscopic third ventriculostomy, septum fenestration and remove intraventricular tumors.
Review and perform endoscopic-assisted approaches to sellar/suprasellar and posterior fossa pathologies.
Review and perform endoscopic endonasal approaches to the anterior, middle and posterior skull base.
Discuss the differences between microsurgical and endoscopic approaches.
Learn and discuss complication avoidance and management.
