Skull base approaches to vascular lesions

COURSE INTRODUCTION

The course aims to provide the anatomical and clinical tools to the neurosurgeons who deal with highly complex vascular pathology.
Each participant will be guided through a step-by-step path in understanding the most difficult pathologies.
The theoretical analysis will be followed by an intensive practice on human anatomical specimen.
The main goal of this course is to give a quick but efficient method to easily switch from theory to practice.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This course is reserved for specialized and specializing doctors and neurosurgeons.
The enrollment and the full participation in the course entitle the learner to get a certificate of attendance, CME credits, to have coffee breaks, lunches, and dinner on Wednesday 31st May.
There will be ten available workstations for surgical dissection with ten fresh frozen human anatomical specimens (20 trainees, two for each preparation) equipped with all the appropriate technology.
The course is open to the first twenty participants enrolled. The enrollment is considered complete once the Administration will receive the participation fee* equal to p 1.200,00 + VAT.
To register, it is necessary to fill in all parts of the enrollment form available in the “Courses” section of our website www.trattoblu.com
