Introductory Lectures followed by hands on Cadaveric workshops. Commonly performed techniques such as pterional, bifrontal and retrosigmoid craniotomies will be covered during the first day followed by more complex approaches to the third ventricle, pineal region, antero-lateral brain-stem and C1/C2 complex on the second day. State of art Pentero Zeiss microscopes, Integra Mayfield clamps and Anspach high speed drills will be readily available in all stations (2 participants per station).
Familiarize trainees with the surgical anatomy pertinent to common as well as complex neurosurgical procedures, which will be comprehensively taught. Identify anatomical avenues for the safe exposure of both superficial and deeper intracranial structures. Expose trainees to microsurgical principles (appropriate application of the operating microscope, high speed drill and microdissection).
