Minimally Invasive Skull Base Surgery – Advanced Theory in 3D

Skull Base Surgery remains one of the most complex areas in neurosurgery. This one-day intensive course combines advanced theoretical knowledge with 3D visualization, providing participants the expertise to plan and execute minimally invasive approaches for benign and malignant lesions.

 

Course Topics (One-Day Program):

• Introduction to Skull Base Anatomy: 3D presentation of critical neurovascular structures.

• Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches: Indications, stepwise technique, and complications.

• Open Lateral and Anterior Approaches: Strategies for complex skull base tumors.

• Combined Approaches: Integrating endoscopic and open techniques for optimal outcomes.

• Multidisciplinary Planning: Collaboration with ENT surgeons, radiologists, and oncologists.

• Case-Based Discussions: Preoperative planning and decision-making.

• 3D Simulation & Virtual Dissection: Interactive sessions to visualize surgical corridors and anatomical relationships.

• Tips & Tricks: Practical guidance from experienced faculty on challenging cases.

 

Lectures:

• Anatomy of the Nose and Paranasal Sinuses

• Nasoseptal and Lateral Flaps

• Pericranial and Temporal Flaps

• Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to the Sella Turcica: Indications and Techniques

• Endoscopic Approaches to the Anterior Fossa: Indications and Surgical Technique

• Extended Endoscopic Approach: Transplanum transtuberculum sellar

• Transpterygoid Endoscopic Endonasal Approach
