Course Description
This is a comprehensive course which focuses on endonasal endoscopic approaches to skull base.
Centering on sphenoid sinus, sella and pituitary gland, modular classification of different approaches
will be presented. Describing the pertinent endoscopic anatomy through 3-D anatomical reviews and
cadaver dissection anatomical relationships of major neurovascular structures in skull base will be
discussed. Indications, risks and benefits of various surgical approaches will be presented and
performing live surgeries allows participants to freely interact with surgeons and other audience.
Course Objectives
It will be predicted that at the end of this course, participants should be able to
1. Describe the anatomic relationships of the sinonasal tract, orbit and ventral skull base from the
endoscopic perspective
2. Discuss the indications and limitations of endoscopic endonasal surgery of the skull base, pituitary
fossa, orbit and craniocervical junction
3. Identify how to avoid and treat complications of endoscopic endonasal surgery of the skull base,
pituitary fossa, orbit and craniocervical junction
4. Describe the anatomic relationships and surgical exposure afforded by the transpterygoid approach
5. Describe the relative anatomical exposures of the endonasal versus the open traditional
approaches
Target Audience
Neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons and other skull base surgeons who are
interested in learning endoscopic endonasal surgery of the skull base, pituitary fossa, orbit and
craniocervical junction
Venue
