Transorbital, Supraorbital, and Endonasal: Three Minimally Invasive Approaches to the Skull Base

Transorbital, Supraorbital, and Endonasal: Three Minimally Invasive Approaches to the Skull Base is organized by Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) and will be held on Jun 09, 2023.

Description:
Minimally invasive approaches to the skull base have revolutionized skull base surgery over the last two decades and have become one of the most important emerging trends in neurosurgery. This one-day online course will demonstrate key surgical steps and provide step-by-step instruction in three different approaches: endonasal, transorbital, and supraorbital. Through lectures and case presentations, then real-time cadaver dissection, the instructors will take participants through each approach and answer questions from the online audience. 

Educational Objectives:
 It is intended that this Weill Cornell Medical College CME activity will lead to improved patient care, including improvements in knowledge, competence, or performance. After this activity, participants should be able to: By the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
a. Recognize the indications for transorbital, supraorbital, and endonasal approaches 
b. Determine the key steps required to perform transorbital, supraorbital, and endonasal approaches 
c. Identify when to use minimal access versus more traditional approaches d. Realize the most common transorbital, supraorbital, and endonasal complications and how to handle them.
