The first day focuses on spinal endoscopy, with separate monoportal and biportal modules (you can choose only one of them, depending on your interests or center-practice).
Participants will explore endoscopy fundamentals, learn through student-directed sessions, and engage in practical training on realistic spine models.
The second day is dedicated to cranial endoscopy, starting with lectures on transnasal approaches, extended techniques, and endoscopic management of conditions such as hydrocephalus and intraventricular tumors. Participants will then apply their knowledge in a comprehensive wet lab session, covering anatomy, tumor aspiration, catheter placement, and advanced techniques.
