This unique hands-on course will be conducted at Weill Cornell's state-of-the-art Surgical Innovations Laboratory. Participating ing surgeons work at 3-D interactive cadaver workstations, where they watch cadaveric dissections and review surgical anatomy - all in 3D - before and during their own dissection. The combination of the 3-D virtual reality environment and the cadaveric hands-on dissection affords surgeons excellent preoperative training and rehearsal of current, complex approaches in cranial base surgery.
