SCOPE  
   
 
Endoscopic skull base surgery has led to growing interest to otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons. The endonasal approach has several advantages over conventional surgery because it provides excellent anatomical lesions without the need for a skin incision, craniotomy or brain retraction. This allows a reduction in morbidity and mortality as well as a decrease in the time of hospitalization and costs. In this sequence, this Course, proposes an advanced hands-on course in SPN dissection and endoscopy surgery of the skull base, in order to provide its participants practical, an extensive hand-on training to learn.
