The course

This advanced course, designed specifically for neurosurgeons, offers a unique blend of in-depth lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions aimed at mastering microsurgical anatomy and skull base approaches. Inspired by the legacy of Dr. Evandro de Oliveira, participants will explore cutting-edge techniques in microneurosurgery and endoscopic procedures under the guidance of an internationally renowned faculty.

Course Highlights:

Part I: Microsurgical Anatomy
Detailed exploration of the brain’s sulci, gyri, ventricles, and their surgical relevance through hands-on dissections and case-based discussions.

Part II: Endoscopic Neurosurgery
Immersive sessions on endonasal approaches to the skull base, pituitary region, and beyond, combining surgical techniques with live case discussions.

Part III: Microneurosurgery
Comprehensive training in advanced brain and skull base approaches, including pterional, pretemporal, and cavernous sinus dissections, with a focus on their application to skull base and vascular microneurosurgery.

Prepare to embark on a transformative journey that combines the richness of advanced neuroanatomy with the precision of state-of-the-art surgical techniques. Over the course, you will engage in immersive, hands-on laboratory sessions and benefit from the insights of world-renowned neurosurgical experts. Each session has been carefully designed to bridge the gap between anatomical understanding and surgical application, equipping you with the confidence and skills needed to excel in the most demanding operating room environments.

This is more than a course; it’s an opportunity to connect with the legacy of giants in neurosurgery, to deepen your passion for the discipline, and to elevate your craft to new heights.
