Stanford Innovations in Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery: Hands-On Course, Live Surgery & Immersive 3D Lecture

Stanford Skull Base Surgeons presents the second multi-day Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery Hands-On Course from August 10-13, 2022 held at Berg Hall, Li Ka Shing Center (LKSC) for lectures and at the Anatomy Lab, Center for Clinical Sciences Research (CCSR) for the hands-on dissection experience.

This CME conference aims to increase the knowledge surrounding the applications, challenges, and advantages of the endoscopic endonasal approach to the skull base.

The course content is designed to address the surgical anatomy of the skull base from the endonasal perspective and will provide the learners with the skills needed to perform an endoscopic endonasal approach to the skull base. The course will consist of hands-on dissection using state-of-the-art endoscopic equipment, high-quality injected specimens, 3D surgical anatomy lectures, live surgery, and interactive breakout sessions with a faculty panel offering "bring your own case" discussion.

The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) team will be joining us as honored guests. We are certain it will a memorable academic and social event.
