Athens Skull Base Hands-on Course 2026
Join us for the Athens Skull Base Hands-on Course
This three-day intensive hands-on course—the sixth in the established series of practical skull base courses organized by the Hellenic Neurosurgical Society—offers a comprehensive educational program combining high-level didactic lectures with structured cadaveric dissections. The course is specifically designed to cover the fundamental surgical approaches and detailed skull base anatomy that form the core knowledge base required of every skull base neurosurgeon.
Participants will receive systematic training in open and endoscopic skull base techniques, with a strong emphasis on anatomical orientation, surgical corridors, and safe operative strategies. Teaching is delivered by a distinguished faculty of senior neurosurgeons and otorhinolaryngology (ENT) surgeons, who will demonstrate key skull base surgical approaches, as well as endonasal and sellar anatomy, highlighting contemporary surgical options and decision-making principles.
Through a balanced integration of theory and hands-on practice, the course aims to enhance anatomical understanding, technical proficiency, and interdisciplinary collaboration in skull base surgery. The program will be conducted at NeuroLab Athens, a state-of-the-art anatomical training facility, from May 25 to May 27, 2026.
