Revival of Microneurosurgery Track

The Revival of Microneurosurgery Track is designed to provide clinically relevant information to update providers on decision making, complication avoidance, innovations in our field, and microsurgery reapplied to old problems. Faculty will provide an update on technological advances in the field from the perspectives of neurosurgery and interventional neuroradiology. Participants will be encouraged to discuss controversies in treatment and optimal recognition and management of complications.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate the current indications and treatment options for cerebrovascular and skull base pathologies
• Incorporate strategies to apply innovative techniques to manage clinical scenarios in your practice
• Utilize modern data and clinical expertise from leading clinicians to guide treatment for patients as well as for cerebrovascular and skull base pathologies

• Insular Glioma
• Acoustic Neuroma
• Aneurysm
• AVM
• Glomus Tumor
• Intramedullary Tumor

• Brainstem cavernoma: when and why to treat
• Windows into the brainstem – Paulo Kadri
• Anterior petrosal, retrosigmoid, transcondylar: which approach for which cavernoma
• Can brainstem cavernous malformations be done endoscopically?

• Giant pituitary tumor invading cavernous sinus
• Trigeminal schwannoma
• Endoscopic approach to the cavernous sinus
•  Cavernous sinus exenteration for aggressive meningioma

• In situ cranial bypasses
• Bypass for revascularization
• Long bypasses for replacement of sacrificed carotid
• Is your bypass enough? What is enough?

• Three nuances Dr. Malis taught me
• Facial nerve preservation
• When total removal is not possible
• Recurrent vestibular schwannoma surgery

• Aneurysm for Clipping Only
• Aneurysm for Endovascular Only
• I hold two swords
• We just started, we’re coming
• Nuances of aneurysm surgery
• Aneurysm clipping in poor grade subarachnoid hemorrhage
• There is more into aneurysms than intervention

• When endonasal alone is enough
• When craniotomy is needed
• Surgery is not enough
• Pediatric chordoma is for cure

• Carotid blow-out
• Vascular dissection in skull base tumors
• Nightmares in ventricular endoscopy
• Venous occlusion and severe cerebral edema

• Stereoscopic endoscopic approaches to craniopharyngiomas
• You need craniotomy for these craniopharyngiomas
• Approach for 3^rd ventricular craniopharyngioma
• Carotid ectasia after microneurosurgery for craniopharyngioma

• Is there a meningioma for endoscopic endonasal resection?
• Why I quit endonasal for meningiomas
• Meningioma is for open cranial
• Aggressive surgical resection for high-grade meningioma
• Veins rule
• Soon we will not need your knife for meningioma

• Nuances of AVM surgery
• Embolization – a Sherpa of AVM surgery
• Hybrid resection of AVM
• Grade 4 AVM still can be treated
• Radiosurgery for AVM
• Breakthrough perfusion: is it really real?
