INFLUENZA A (H1N1) - INFORMATION FOR EXAMINATION CANDIDATES AND COURSE DELEGATES

The effects of the current Swine Flu epidemic may make it necessary to cancel or postpone an examination or educational event. In such a circumstance, the College will make every effort to notify candidates or delegates as soon as the decision to cancel or postpone has been made.

Course fees and examination fees will be reimbursed in full, or carried forward to a rescheduled event, but the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh regrets that it will not incur any further liability.

Target Audience This course is suitable for Neurosurgical Trainees of varying experience as well as Skull base and Cerebrovascular Fellows. Teaching of the approaches will be tailored to the specifc needs and experience of the individual trainee.
Learning Style Introductory Lectures followed by hands on Cadaveric workshops. Commonly performed techniques such as pterional, bifrontal and retrosigmoid craniotomies will be covered during the first day followed by more complex approaches to the third ventricle, pineal region, antero-lateral brain-stem and C1/C2 complex on the second day. State of art Pentero Zeiss microscopes, Integra Mayfield clamps and Anspach high speed drills will be readily available in all stations (2 participants per station).
Aims and Objectives Familiarize trainees with the surgical anatomy pertinent to common as well as complex neurosurgical procedures, which will be comprehensively taught. Identify anatomical avenues for the safe exposure of both superficial and deeper intracranial structures. Expose trainees to microsurgical principles (appropriate application of the operating microscope, high speed drill and microdissection).
Convener
Ioannis P Fouyas and William Taylor
Learning Outcome Enable trainees to safely approach superficial and deep seated vascular and benign intracranial lesions arising from or being in proximity to the cranial vault or skull base. Trainees will have a heightened appreciation of the critical structures encountered through these approaches.
