1st Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery Course

3D printed anatomical sinus and sella models with realistic tissue allowing all steps for a transsphenoidal and transella exposure, pituitary adenoma resection, CSF leak repair, ICA injury control and skull base reconstruction.

22 stations in a purpose built state of the art dissection lab in the centre of Adelaide.
