The brief
Three intensive days, in English.
The course combined lectures with hands-on dissection and demonstrations at a master station. Greek and international faculty — neurosurgeons and otorhinolaryngologists — covered microscopic and endoscopic approaches.
Participants came from Greece and abroad, so the secretariat handled transfers and rooming as well as registration.
