W ORKSHOP OBJECTIVES With the advance in technology and increase in understanding of the anatomy, endoscopic skull base surgery developed dramatically in the recent decades. Nowadays, the anterior, middle and posterior skull base can be approached endoscopically with minimal morbidity to the patients compared with conventional open techniques. We attempt to demonstrate the surgical techniques of different endoscopic skull base procedures by our honoured guests, Professor P Castelnuovo and Professor PJ Wormald. Participants can practise with hands-on dissection on the cadaver heads. At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Understand the endoscopic surgical anatomy to the skull base Recognize the endoscopic surgical techniques to different skull base areas Recognize the surgical techniques for repair of skull base defects

CADAVERIC DISSECTION (8:30am – 17:30pm)

Surgical procedures to be demonstrated / practiced:Basic FESS Dissections - the “Full-House FESS”Nasoseptal flapEndoscopic sellar and suprasellar approachesEndoscopic modified lothrop procedureEndosopic approach to the anterior skull baseEndoscopic orbital decompression / optic nerve decompressionEndoscopic medial maxillectomyEndoscopic approach to the infratemporal fossaEndoscopic approach to the clivus

Remarks :

Instruments will be provided but course delegates are welcome to bring their own instruments. Please kindly inform the secretariat if you wish to do so for inventory purposes.
