\u201cSkull Base 360-Degree \u2013 The Full Spectrum Micro-Endo-Radiosurgery\u201d at IRCAD<\/strong>, a 5-day intensive course entirely dedicated to the surgical and radiosurgical management of skull base lesions.<\/p>\n\n<p>Directed by <strong>Prof. S\u00e9bastien Froelich<\/strong>, this course brings together leading international experts and is designed for <strong>neurosurgeons, ENT specialists, fellows, and residents<\/strong> seeking to deepen their expertise in modern skull base approaches.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Comprehensive Training: Microsurgery, Endoscopy, and Radiosurgery<\/h3>\n\n<p>The program is designed to provide a <strong>360\u00b0 overview of therapeutic strategies for the skull base<\/strong>, combining:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>radiosurgery,<\/li>\n<li>microsurgical approaches,<\/li>\n<li>endoscopic and endoscopic endonasal techniques,<\/li>\n<li>combined approaches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Participants benefit from <strong>didactic lectures<\/strong> and <strong>surgical video demonstrations<\/strong> displayed on a 3D screen, offering an immersive experience in operative techniques.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Over 27 Hours of Hands-On Cadaveric Practice<\/h3>\n\n<p>A key strength of the program is its focus on <strong>practical training<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>more than <strong>27 hours of cadaver dissection<\/strong>,<\/li>\n<li>sessions covering a wide range of surgical approaches:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul>\n<li>transcranial \u201ckeyhole\u201d approaches,<\/li>\n<li>endoscopic approaches,<\/li>\n<li>assisted endoscopic endonasal approaches,<\/li>\n<li>combined techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Each session is supervised by <strong>internationally recognized experts<\/strong>, ensuring safe technical progression and enhanced anatomical understanding.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Key Clinical Topics in Skull Base Surgery<\/h3>\n\n<p>Lectures and case discussions cover complex and diverse pathologies, including:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>acoustic neuroma,<\/li>\n<li>microvascular decompression,<\/li>\n<li>radiosurgery for skull base lesions,<\/li>\n<li>pediatric skull base neurosurgery,<\/li>\n<li>brainstem cavernomas,<\/li>\n<li>chordomas,<\/li>\n<li>revascularization and reconstruction techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The program emphasizes <strong>therapeutic indications<\/strong>, <strong>surgical strategies<\/strong>, and <strong>multidisciplinary decision-making<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3>A Day Focused on the Latest Radiation Therapy Technologies<\/h3>\n\n<p>The course also includes <strong>a full day dedicated to skull base radiotherapy<\/strong>, with a focus on:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>modern radiosurgery techniques,<\/li>\n<li>proton therapy,<\/li>\n<li>carbon ion therapy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Practical sessions in radiosurgical planning<\/strong> allow participants to gain hands-on experience with these advanced technologies.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Educational Objectives of the Program<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Skull Base Surgery Session (4 days)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>understand the complex anatomy of the skull base,<\/li>\n<li>master different surgical approaches and their technical steps,<\/li>\n<li>discuss indications and surgical strategies,<\/li>\n<li>enhance technical skills through dissection,<\/li>\n<li>gain familiarity with endoscopic endonasal approaches,<\/li>\n<li>promote clinical exchanges between experts and participants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Radiotherapy Session (1 day)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>understand new irradiation technologies,<\/li>\n<li>define indications for radiotherapy,<\/li>\n<li>develop tailored therapeutic strategies,<\/li>\n<li>practice radiosurgical planning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Interactive and International Pedagogy<\/h3>\n\n<p>Educational methods include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>interactive exchanges between faculty and participants,<\/li>\n<li>hands-on training on anatomical specimens,<\/li>\n<li>free access to educational video resources via <strong>WebSurg<\/strong>, IRCAD\u2019s online university.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Excellence in Training at the Heart of Surgical Innovation<\/h3>\n\n<p>This program reflects IRCAD\u2019s and <strong>Prof. S\u00e9bastien Froelich\u2019s<\/strong> commitment to <strong>high-level international training<\/strong>, integrating technological innovation, anatomical rigor, and clinical excellence in the service of skull base surgery.<br \/><br \/><a
