Online Basic Cranial Approaches Diploma Program is organized by Global Neuro and will be held from Jan 29 - Apr 02, 2025.

Description:
Program

Module 1 Basic technical and surgical information to perform a cranial approach
Module 2 External Ventricular Drainage (EVD) and Ventricular-Peritoneal Shunt (VPS)
Module 3 Pterional approach
Module 4 Subtemporal approach
Module 5 Retrosigmoid approach
Module 6 Decompressive Craniectomy

Learning Objectives:
By completing this course, participants will be better able to:

Identify the surgical anatomy of the cranial approaches.
Determine the surgical instruments and the surgical theater setting for each step of the cranial approaches.
Describe basic surgical information to perform a cranial approach (preparation of the patient, disinfection, anesthesiology setting, skin preparation and incision, as well as skin, muscles, and bone flap preservation during the procedure).
Perform 5 different cranial surgical procedures and their basic variants, in particular: Ventricular Shunt, Pterional Approach, Subtemporal Approach, Retrosigmoid Approach and Decompressive Craniectomy.
Assess the technical difficulties and the possible mistakes related to any single approach.
Recognize the importance of performing the approach step by step to avoid mistakes.
Identify how to modify an approach and what kind of advantage can be obtained by this change.
Develop decision-making skills and to formulate which approaches can be performed for a specific case.
