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

Endoscopic sinus and skull base dissection

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."

Key surgical topics

Endoscopic Anatomy & Orientation

Endoscopic nasal anatomy orientation with 0° and 30° scopes, key landmarks and CT/radiology correlation.

Uncinate, Antrostomy & Ethmoidectomy

Uncinate process, maxillary ostium and antrostomy, and complete ethmoidectomy — the foundation of FESS.

Frontal Recess & Draf Approaches

Skull base safety, anatomical variants and the frontal recess from Draf I through Draf IIa/IIb.

Sphenoidotomy & Frontal Sinus

Wide sphenoidotomy and advanced frontal sinus concepts opening the corridor to the central skull base.

Septoplasty & Turbinate Reduction

Endoscopic septoplasty and turbinate reduction techniques to optimise access and airflow.

Polyposis & CSF Leak Repair

Management of nasal polyposis, a CSF-leak repair demonstration and advanced skull base dissections.

Course features

What the course includes

  • 01

    One-to-One Mentorship

    Learn directly at the bench with faculty alongside you, sharing operative pearls drawn from years of practice.

  • 02

    Plenty of Time for Dissection

    Two full days of 100% hands-on cadaveric dissection, from foundational FESS to advanced skull base work.

  • 03

    Competency-Based Training Model

    Each technique is demonstrated and then performed by participants, with anatomy-based, progressive dissection.

  • 04

    Detailed Anatomy–Radiology Correlation

    Integrated CT/radiology correlation throughout, with limited seats and interactive, delegate-led learning.

The dissection pathway

How the two days are structured

Day one moves from sinus anatomy and anterior and posterior FESS to the frontal sinus; day two advances to the orbit, the pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossae, and skull base repair. Every dissection is preceded by a faculty prosection.
