Experts on the subject will present the anatomical indications and technical aspects of this procedure along with the risks, benefits, and outcomes. The course features fresh anatomical specimen dissection, lectures and panel discussions, 3D anatomy lectures, and case presentations.
The Skull Base Symposium involves 2 days of in-depth review and discussions on the management of Skull Base Tumors. This will entail both the open and minimally invasive surgical techniques to the skull base.
