Transorbital, Supraorbital, and Endonasal: Three Minimally Invasive Approaches to the Skull Base
2023-06-09
Transorbital, Supraorbital, and Endonasal: Three Minimally Invasive Approaches to the Skull Base is now open for registration. The course, which includes lectures, Q&A sessions, and live-streamed cadaver dissections, will be presented via Zoom on June 9, 2023. We would like to invite you to register today to reserve your place and take advantage of the early registration discount.
Click here for the full agenda, faculty list, and online registration.
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.
Visit our online registration site for more information about the course, including the full agenda, faculty list, and fees. We hope to see you at the course!

The pituitary gland plays an enormously important role in human development, the maintenance of various essential physiologic functions, and aging and senescence, but general practitioners and even specialists in endocrinology may not be fully aware of the widespread impact of the pituitary gland in health and disease. The function of this course is to educate and inform the medical audience about pituitary disease.

Endonasal, Transorbital, and Supraorbital: ﻿Three Minimally Invasive Approaches to the Skull Base
2024-06-07 07:30 - 2024-06-08 16:30 (America/New_York)
Please join us for an innovative course that will teach surgeons how to perform three minimally invasive approaches to the skull base: endonasal, transorbital, and supraorbital. The goals of the course are to teach surgeons how to perform these new approaches as well as their indications, contraindications, and limitations. There is currently a gap in the ability of surgeons to perform these new approaches, since they are often not learned during a standard residency. This course will address this critical need.
Neurosurgery is evolving and becoming increasingly less invasive — developments that have been shown to lead to improved patient outcomes. Not only do minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques reduce length of hospital stays, they also reduce complications. However, these techniques are generally developed at tertiary care academic centers and not widely performed at smaller hospitals or even academic centers where expertise is lacking. There is a significant need for training in these newer techniques, so that surgeons at other institutions can increase their proficiency in these procedures. The replacement of more invasive larger craniotomies with novel minimally invasive surgical approaches should directly lead to improvements in patient outcomes.
