Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery: Ventricular Neuroendoscopy & Port Brain Surgery

Transform your neurosurgical practice with advanced minimally invasive techniques for both pediatric and adult patients. This comprehensive course offers an integrated approach to Ventricular Neuroendoscopy and the transtubular (Port) approach, enabling precise management of complex pathologies with reduced morbidity.

​

Why Choose This Course?

• Master Minimally Invasive Techniques: Gain hands-on expertise to minimize tissue trauma, shorten hospital stays, and enhance recovery.

• Dual Cutting-Edge Focus: Train in intraventricular procedures (ETV, cysts, tumors) and deep-seated lesion access via Port Brain Surgery.

• Integrated Theory & Practice: High-level lectures on anatomy, indications, neuronavigation, and complication management, combined with intensive hands-on simulation sessions.

 

Target Audience:

• Neurosurgeons (general and pediatric).

• Residents interested in minimally invasive neurosurgery.
