This 2-day course on Functional Neurosurgery covers both Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and stereotactic lesioning. All aspects of anatomy, patient selection, targeting, surgery, programming, follow up and troubleshooting will be presented by experts and pioneers in the field. Afternoon workshops include 3-D anatomy simulation of basal ganglia, hands-on courses on surgery simulation, target and trajectory planning, and basic programming. Depending on their main field of interest, participants can choose between more advanced planning, DBS programming, or patient selection. We will also cover the basics on radiofrequency (RF) ablation and High Focused Ultrasound, including simulation of RF surgery.
The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery at Queen Square is an international leader in the field and has pioneered image-verified DBS surgery under general anaesthesia. This is an excellent opportunity for neurosurgery and neurology trainees as well as younger consultants, specialist DBS nurses and allied health-care professionals interested in expanding their knowledge or keeping up-to-date in this field.
