About the Symposium
Sponsored by Duke Neurosurgery and the Duke Department of Head and Neck Surgery & Communications Sciences, the Duke Skull Base Symposium is an interactive, multidisciplinary CME event designed to emphasize state-of-the art treatment of both anterior and lateral skull base disorders.
This course is presented by Duke faculty and leaders in many fields, with a focus on anterior and lateral skull base disorders. All lectures are followed by question-and-answer sessions as well as case discussions to highlight nuances in evaluation and treatment.
The symposium is designed to increase competence and provide the most up-to-date, evidence- based review of the management of patients with anterior and lateral skull base disorders. At the end of the course, participants should be able to:
- Evaluate and manage preoperative and postoperative skull base pathologies in a cost-effective manner based on best available evidence
- Identify best candidates for conservative management of various skull base diseases, review of available treatment options, and short- and long-term outcomes of these therapies using an evidence-based approach
- Discuss treatment of skull base disorder with a focus on health care economic, delivery of care, patient education, physician education and case review, and methods to improve outcomes, value and quality
- Develop a systematic and reliable approach for evaluating patients with skull base pathologies and formulate a non-operative or surgical treatment strategy
- Discuss the impact on current and future skull base care of innovative skull base procedural treatments and surgical techniques.
