This activity is partially supported by Anspach Corporation
Hands-on course and lectures are organized and supported by INEF (International Neurosurgery Education Foundation)

These hands-on courses are designed for neurosurgeons interested in learning microanatomy, skull base surgical approaches and advanced micro-dissection techniques. The intensive, hands-on microdissection course with lectures, video tapes and color illustrated text will provide each participant with the very valuable opportunity to practice the various surgical skull base approaches.
