OVERVIEW

Please join us for an innovative course that will teach surgeons how to perform a new approach for surgical access to the skull base: the endoscopic transorbital. The goals of the course are to teach surgeons how to perform these new approaches as well as their indications, contraindications, and limitations. There is currently a gap in the ability of surgeons to perform these new approaches since they are not learned during a standard residency in any specialty. This course -- only the second such hands-on course in the world -- will address this critical need.  

TARGET AUDIENCE

This CME course is intended for national and international practicing neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, and oculoplastics surgeons, fellows, and residents in training. Nurses, NPs, and PAs are also welcome.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

It is intended that this Weill Cornell Medical College CME activity will lead to improved patient care, including improvements in knowledge, competence, or performance. At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to: 

1. Recognize the indications and technical steps required to perform transorbital surgery
2. Perform the transorbital approach
3. Identify when to use the transorbital approach versus other similar approaches
4. Realize the most common complications of the transorbital approach and how to handle them. 

ACCREDITATION

Weill Cornell Medical College designates this live activity for a maximum of 16.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.
