Global Neuro Course-Skull Base is organized by Global Neuro and will be held from Oct 25 - 27, 2018 at Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Wien, Austria.
The target audience for this medical event is neurosurgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, CMF surgeons, ENT surgeons, and surgeons practising in related disciplines (eg, trauma surgeons, plastic surgeons, etc.).
Course description :
The course is based on the competencies defined in Global Neuro’s curriculum for skull base and features an international faculty of experts. It is delivered through a combination of lectures, case discussions, and hands-on dissection. Didactic sessions will focus on 3-D anatomy as well as on concepts, strategies, and modern techniques to deal with tumours, vascular injuries, trauma, etc. 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. Special focus will be given to numerous case discussion sessions where participants are encouraged to bring their own cases to add to those presented by the faculty.
Goal of the course :
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.
Learning objectives :
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
• Describe the complex anatomy of the skull base and its relation to the surrounding areas
• Perform the most up-to-date endoscopic and microsurgical approaches
• Recognize the most relevant pathologies (tumor, vascular, trauma, etc)
• Apply the most up-to-date treatment practices for these pathologies
• Review the technical solutions that are available to perform skull base procedures
