Stand: 15.10.08 Innovations and Perspectives in Anterior Skull Base and Orbital Surgery Computer-aided procedures Intraoperative imaging Preformed implants Preliminary Program June 25 th 27 th, 2009/ 2009 www.luxarts.de
Mission statement of AO education Our mission is to continuously set standards in postgraduate medical education and to foster the sharing of medically guided expertise in a worldwide network of healthcare professionals to improve patient care in trauma or disorders of the musculoskeletal system. 2
Dear AO course participant Treatment of orbital and skull base lesions underwent a massive development within the last 50 years and has accelerated by the improvement of imaging and computer-aided procedures within the last 10 years. The AO has always significantly contributed in that development to meet the challenges of orbital and skull base trauma care and reconstruction. Due to their affiliation with the AO surgeons all over the world have dedicated their experience to the development of innovative surgical techniques as well as the development of new instruments, implants and tools. The AO Organization with their Education and Teaching Committees, the Expert Groups and the Development and Research Institutes have always supporteddoctors in their efforts to treat these injuries and pathologies in this surgically chanllenging area. The workshop in 2009 in Freiburg will cover the latest technologies and surgical techniques in anterior skull base and orbital trauma and reconstruction. The Course will focus on presentations from surgeons of different specialities working together in that area. The workshop will demonstrate practically how intraoperative imaging techniques, computer-aided planning and the use of prefabriated preformed mesh and implants especially in bilateral and complex injuries will change the profiles of all specialities working close together in head and neck reconstruction. 3
Letter from the Course Chairmen We are very excited to invite you to a workshop on innovations and perspectives in anterior skull base and orbital surgery. The course is dedicated to the interdisciplinary cooperation of colleagues who work together under and at the skull base and colleagues. As innovative techniques have always been a focus at our University of Excellence, we very much look forward to demonstrating these new technologies in that hands-on oriented workshop. We are also sure that ther will be enough timt to experience the wonderful environment of Freiburg and Black Forest. The Course is dedicated to modern technology and innovations in skull base and orbital surgery, such as intraoperative imaging, minimal invasive and procedures, computer-aided procedures and preformed implants as innovative techniques have always been a focus here at this University of Excellence.

Contents / Objectives To broaden the knowledge and comprehension of traumatic injuries and specific diseases at the anterior skull base and orbit To assist in decision making of treatment concepts and in selection of surgical approaches To understand that interdisciplinary treatment is a mandatory prerequisite to treatment of trauma and tumours of the orbit and the skull base To use intraoperative imaging practically and to experience it as a mandatory tool in quality assurance To introduce computer-aided planning step by step in education and clinical routine To learn interpretation of different imaging techniques to perform image fusions and virtual planning procedures and to transform these abilities into practical surgical consequences/ practical surgery To decide about appropriate treatment with regard to the findings in different imaging modalities To treat acute orbital and skull base trauma as well as posttraumatic deformities including enophthalmos To decide when to use preformed mesh vs. conventional reconstruction methods Virtual reconstruction in bilateral and complex orbital injuries: Preformed implants 5
