2 PRESENTATION The course is aimed at neurosurgeons who want to learn transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery for pituitary adenomas. The course approach involves live surgery using state of the art techniques and discussing future prospects. The small group of participants fosters an informal atmosphere with more effective interaction between student and teacher. The number of participants is limited to 24 to allow the presence in turns in the Operating Room to observe first hand. Live surgery will also be available on closed-circuit-tv. For beginners in this type of surgery, the live surgery sessions will serve as a short-cut to grasping the real needs of this type of operation, the difficulties involved and how they can be overcome. The surgical technique will be shown step by step. In addition to the practical part of the course, there will also be some theory lessons because the progress made in transsphenoidal surgery has not only come from technical advances but also from the increased knowledge obtained. International authorities and staff members will hold lessons on: The criteria for patient selection The knowledge necessary to perform the surgery How to prevent complications The management of failures. The course aims to give participants the skills necessary to perform such surgery. We remind you that this surgery requires individual training.
