This practical clinic takes a deep dive into minimally-invasive endoscopic procedures specializing in intracranial and skull base surgery, covering both pediatric and adult techniques. Designed to offer participants with a fully-immersive experience with a predominant emphasis on hands-on learning to familiarize several models, this clinic covers skull drilling to intricate ventricular system operations using endoscopes.

Detailed features of the clinic include:

• Endoscopic drilling of the skull and the skull base
• Exploring the ventricular system and the skull base using endoscopes
• Techniques for skull base defect repairs
• Hands-on experience with pediatric brain and skull base models
• Training in controlling carotid artery blowouts
• Utilizing the obstructive hydrocephalus/pineal tumor model to understand ventricular anatomy
• Practicing endoscopic third ventriculostomy and pineal tumor biopsy with endoscopy
• Hands-on practice with rigid endoscopy and flexible endoscopy

Learning Objectives:

Gain insights into the indications, challenges and restricted accesses in minimally invasive endoscopic methods, especially in pediatric intraventricular surgery and skull base surgery
Master the techniques of controlling an ICA rupture through endoscopic endonasal procedures
Develop proficiency in endoscopic endonasal reconstruction and skull base repairs
Gain experience with endoscopic intraventricular surgical procedures and endoscopic assisted microsurgical resection for brain tumors with focus on endocopic controlled and endoscopic assisted craniopharyngioma managment
Recognize the differences and subtleties between rigid and flexible ventricular endoscopy
