Anterior Skull Base Course

Advanced FESS and Anterior Skull Base Course

This course, led by the distinguished and well known Professor Prepageran will focus on the following:

• Going quite quickly through the ‘basic FESS’
• Spending time on the different approaches to the frontal sinus (including the Modified Lothrop)
• Endoscopic Medial Maxillectomy
• DCR
• Access to the pituitary fossa
• Different vacularised flap options to cover skull base defects
• Infra-orbital and optic nerve decompression

1 fresh frozen head will be shared between 2 delegates.

The course is mainly hands on with live demonstrations by Professor Prepageran before each dissection.

Advanced FESS and Anterior Skull Base Course

This intensive hands-on course, led by the distinguished Professor Prepageran, will provide advanced training in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and anterior skull base techniques.

Course Highlights

• Concise review of basic FESS principles
• In-depth exploration of frontal sinus approaches, including the Modified Lothrop procedure
• Endoscopic medial maxillectomy
• Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR)
• Endoscopic access to the pituitary fossa
• Techniques and indications for various vascularised flaps to reconstruct skull base defects
• Infra-orbital and optic nerve decompression
• Trans-sellar / trans-tubercular approaches
• Trans-planum and trans-cribriform approaches

Format

• Hands-on focus: Each step demonstrated live by Professor Prepageran, followed by supervised dissection
• Cadaveric dissection: One fresh frozen head will be shared between two delegates

This advanced course is designed for ENT surgeons with prior experience in endoscopic sinus surgery who wish to refine their skills and extend their expertise to more complex procedures.
