Weill Cornell Medical College Endonasal, Transorbital, Supraorbital 3 MIS Approaches to Skull Base 2024
Format: 11 videos, size: 6.24 GB
Course Audience: neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, and oculoplastics surgeons
Overview:
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.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This course is intended for national and international practicing neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, and oculoplastics surgeons, fellows, and residents in training. Nurses, NPs, and PAs are also welcome.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
By the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
a. Recognize the indications for endonasal, transorbital, and supraorbital approaches
b. Determine the key steps required to perform endonasal, transorbital, and supraorbital approaches
c. Identify when to use minimal access versus more traditional approaches
d. Realize the most common complications of the endonasal, transorbital, and supraorbital approaches and how to handle them.
