Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery Course 2016

It’s so amazing to see how technology has been playing a vital role over the past few years in performing Endo Endonasal surgeries successfully which are considered beyond impossible. The state of the art endoscopic equipment with image guidance technology, innovative approaches and highly crafted instruments help surgeons to perform endoscopic surgery of the cranial base and pituitary fossavery well with minimal invasiveness.

It is of great importance for the surgeons to keep themselves abreast of the advanced technology, cutting edge approaches and techniques, methods to avoid and manage major complications during and post-surgery. Providing an opportunity to enhance your knowledge in endoscopic surgery of the cranial base and pituitary fossa using minimally invasive techniques, Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery Course 2016 of the Skull Base will be organized by University of Pittsburgh from Dec 7 - 10, 2016 at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital Campus - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United states of America. It’s a 4 days’ comprehensive course led by experts talking about anatomical and technical aspects of this procedure highlighting risks, benefits and outcomes, interactive live surgery, fresh anatomical specimen dissection, lectures, videos and case presentations. The target audience for this medical event would be neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, and skull base surgeons.
