Global Neuro Course - Complex Cranial Access is organized by Global Neuro and will be held from Mar 08 - 10, 2021 at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany.

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

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 tumors, 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 here participants are encouraged to bring their own cases to add to those presented by the faculty.

Goal:
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.
