2nd Endoscopic Sinus &Skull Base Dissection Course

Cadaveric Hands-On Training · Endoscopic Sinus · Skull Base

A two-day, 100% hands-on cadaveric course in endoscopic sinonasal and skull base dissection — from endoscopic nasal anatomy and complete functional endoscopic sinus surgery through the frontal recess, sphenoidotomy and CSF-leak repair — built on a competency-based training model with one-to-one mentorship and plenty of time on the specimen.

About the Course

From the Sinonasal Corridor to the Skull Base

This intensive two-day course delivers competency-based, 100% hands-on training in endoscopic sinonasal and skull base surgery, with integrated anatomy–radiology correlation. Faculty-led demonstrations are followed by guided participant dissection, progressing from foundational functional endoscopic sinus surgery to advanced frontal, sphenoid and skull base work.

Hosted by the Jazan Health Cluster at the University of Jazan, the program offers one-to-one mentorship, a competency-based training model and plenty of time per participant on the specimen, with limited seats to maximise hands-on practice.

"Learn the skull base the way the experts do it — building blocks, demonstration, then your own hands on the specimen, step by step."
