OVERVIEW
Managing subcortical abnormalities has historically posed a difficult challenge for neurosurgeons. This course aims to provide an open forum to discuss potential solutions to some of these challenges.
- Can disruption of surrounding healthy tissue be minimized when accessing deep lesions?
- How can visualization be maximized through a narrow corridor?
- Is bi-manual technique applicable in minimally invasive approaches?
- What lessons can be learned surrounding hemostasis management in an air-medium while operating in the subcortical space?
These and more will be addressed by faculty over the course of the one-day training, including current evidence on clinical and economical outcomes. New technologies will be introduced as part of an efficient, integrated, systems approach and two hands-on skills labs will provide same-day experience with the methods and technologies reviewed. The need for solutions to managing subcortical disease is at the forefront of this training aimed to provide surgeons an overview of alternative methods for addressing these challenges. |
OBJECTIVES
- Access fundamentals of microsurgical, bi-manual technique and apply these concepts during hands-on lab sessions for both Tumor and Intracerebral Hemmorhage
- Review principles of minimally disruptive techniques based on fascicular anatomy and common corridors
- Evaluate and integrate technological platforms for addressing the challenges associated with management of subcortical abnormalities including controlling hemostasis, and effectively delivering optics and light for increased visualization
- Analyze the potential safety and efficacy of the BrainPath Approach through review of clinical evidence and discussion of real experiences at leading institutions using the approach
- Gauge the potential clinical and economic impact at your facility
