See you there!Location: NeuroTraIn Center, Department of Neurosurgery, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CaliforniaDuration: 2–4 weeksFormat: Hands-on cadaveric dissection and observational trainingTarget Participants: Neurosurgery residents, fellows, and practicing neurosurgeonsWe can accommodate 1-2 person at month depending on the schedule and labs availibility. Please contact Jennie Visitacion jenniev@stanford.edu for more information.Program SummaryThis short training program is designed to provide a comprehensive and customizable educational experience in neurosurgical anatomy and complex cranial approaches.Participants will train in a state-of-the-art neuroanatomy laboratory, focusing on both open and endoscopic skull base techniques, as well as white matter dissection to enhance understanding of critical fiber tracts relevant to neurosurgical practice.Two pathways are available to accommodate the experience and goals of each participant:Structured Program:A systematic curriculum ideal for trainees or surgeons seeking broad and progressive training in skull base anatomy and surgical techniques.Covers a comprehensive range of both open and endoscopic approaches.Flexible Program:Designed for experienced surgeons who wish to focus on specific techniques or regions, such as only endoscopic endonasal approaches, advanced lateral skull base surgery, or white matter dissection.Customized to the participant’s professional objectives and time availability.To enhance learning, participants will also:Perform computer-based dissections using advanced virtual tools to prepare for cadaveric sessions.Receive comprehensive dissection guides for both open and endoscopic approaches.Gain access to a digital collection of 3D anatomical images and surgical videos, providing reference material for continued education and practice.Are you interested in Observership OR visit in conjunction with course?Optional operating room (OR) observerships can be included to connect laboratory learning with real surgical experience.Stanford Hospital Observerships are short-term - 30 consecutive days and subject to review and approval by Stanford Healthcare Observership Office and takes 1-2 months to process.More info: https://bit.ly/ObservershipProgram ObjectivesParticipants will:Develop a deep understanding of neurosurgical anatomy, including cortical, subcortical, and skull base structures.Perform guided cadaveric dissections under expert supervision.Master both open cranial approaches and endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA).Conduct computer-based dissections as preparatory exercises before lab dissections.Gain experience in white matter dissection, enhancing their understanding of neural connectivity and functional neurosurgical planning.Observe live surgeries through optional OR observerships to integrate anatomical and surgical knowledge.Acquire skills in 2D and 3D anatomical photography and photogrammetry to create high-quality educational material.Utilize a curated collection of dissection guides, 3D images, and surgical videos for structured self-learning.Receive individualized feedback to align the training with their career development goals.Structured Program: Modules & ContentWeek 1: Open Cranial and Skull Base ApproachesOrbitozygomatic and anterior clinoidectomyTranscavernous and cavernous sinus exposureMiddle cranial fossa and anterior petrosectomyPosterior petrosal, translabyrinthine, and transcochlear approachesFar lateral, transcondylar, and retrosigmoid exposuresWeek 2: Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base ApproachesTranssellar, transtubercular, and transplanum approachesTransclival and extended midline dissectionsTranscavernous and transpterygoid routesFar medial and transmaxillary exposuresExploration of Meckel’s cave, lateral recess, infratemporal fossa, and Eustachian tube transpositionOptional White Matter Dissection ModuleStepwise white matter dissection techniquesIdentification of major association, projection, and commissural fiber tractsSurgical implications for tumor resection and functional neurosurgery3D mapping and integration with preoperative surgical planningFlexible Program: Customized Training PathwayThis pathway is personalized for participants wishing to concentrate on specific surgical areas or techniques.Examples include:Intensive training on endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA) for pituitary, clival, and skull base tumors.Advanced lateral skull base approaches, such as petrosectomy or far lateral techniques.Exclusive white matter dissection for functional neurosurgery planning.Mixed training combining cadaveric dissections with OR observerships.Duration: From several days to multiple weeks, depending on participant objectives.Additional Training ComponentsComputer-Based Dissection Sessions:Participants use virtual dissection software to simulate and plan surgical corridors before performing actual dissections.Dissection Guides & Digital Resources:Each participant receives structured guides for both open and endoscopic approaches, as well as a digital collection of 3D dissection images and surgical videos to continue practicing and reviewing techniques independently.OR Observership (Optional):Opportunity to observe live neurosurgical procedures, enhancing the application of lab-based anatomy to clinical surgery.Imaging & Photogrammetry Workshop:Techniques for capturing professional 2D and 3D anatomical photographs.Photogrammetry for creating digital 3D reconstructions of dissections.Post-processing for presentations and research publications.Case-Based Discussions & Radiological Correlation:Faculty-led sessions linking lab dissections to clinical imaging and surgical planning.Multimodal integration for comprehensive understanding.Faculty and MentorshipProgram Director: Juan Carlos Fernandez-Miranda, MD, FACSAnatomical Faculty: Yuanzhi Xu, MD; Vera Vigo, MD,
