The lectures will cover basic and advanced knowledge of nasal and paranasal sinus anatomy and the skull base, with a primary focus on surgical anatomy as it relates to endoscopic approaches to skull base lesions.
The course will also include anatomical dissection practice, with a demonstration followed by dissection by the participants.
Each station will have two participants and will be equipped with endoscopes, surgical instruments, high-speed drills, and suction systems to simulate operating room conditions.
Dissections will be performed on fresh-frozen cadavers, providing participants with an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience and update their knowledge of anatomy.
Interaction between participants and faculty is essential. Our goal is to create an environment that fosters open discussion; therefore, please feel free to ask questions at any time.
We will discuss maxillary sinus dissection and surgery (types I, II, and III), including the differences between the surgical techniques.
We will also examine and discuss ethmoid sinus surgery using various techniques, analyzing the differences, similarities, and commonalities of each technique.
We will discuss frontoethmoidectomy and frontal sinusotomy (types I, II, and III), including a detailed description and analysis of frontal sinus surgery, covering the differences between the various surgical techniques.
We will discuss sphenoethmoidectomy and sphenoid sinusotomy (types I, II, and III), including a description and discussion of sphenoid sinus surgery, covering the differences between the surgical techniques.
We will discuss the clinical management and surgical treatment of polyposis, as well as the indications for a fronto-spheno-ethmoidectomy.
Exposure of the nasolacrimal duct via the pre-lacrimal approach.
Endoscopic medial maxillectomy and endoscopic Denker approach.
Management of the sphenopalatine artery, maxillary artery, and anatomy of the pterygoid fossa.
Sphenoid Sinusotomy and Access for Pituitary Tumors.
The anatomy of skull base approaches will be discussed through the study of the anatomy of the nasal sinuses, orbit, and skull base from an endoscopic perspective.
Approaches to Preventing and Treating Complications of Endoscopic and Endonasal Skull Base Surgery.

The training consists of theoretical and practical activities in which we will cover the main topics in rhinology and skull base access surgeries.
All in-person training will involve the use of:
Stations with two participants, which will be equipped with endoscopes, surgical instruments, high-speed drills, and suction systems to simulate operating room settings;
More than 8 hours of cadaver dissections in the lab (fresh-frozen) will provide participants with an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience and update their knowledge;
Presentations that will cover basic and advanced knowledge of nasal and sinus anatomy, as well as the latest developments in endoscopic sinus surgery and endoscopic approaches to the skull base.
By participating in the supervised training, students will gain comprehensive experience with the latest surgical techniques for these procedures.
The classes will be taught by leading experts in the field and will include live surgery demonstrations and discussions of clinical cases.
Hands-on training using inanimate models that will involve the development of motor skills based on simulations of surgical techniques.
All of these steps will be supervised by a preceptor surgeon with extensive practical experience and well-established expertise in the technical aspects of the training.
2½ days
Day 1 - Lectures, surgical video presentations, and case discussions | 10 hours
Day 2½ - Cadaver dissection lab (fresh-frozen) | 15 hours
Theoretical Module: Students attend in-person classes and lectures to acquire the necessary theoretical foundations. Course load: 10 hours
Observational Module: In addition to in-person classes and lectures, students have the opportunity to closely observe realistic techniques and practices in the cadaver lab. Course load: 25 hours
