SYNS 4th Endoscopy course 2026

Join a cutting-edge workshop tailored for surgeons seeking to advance their skills in endoscopic spine and cranial surgery. 

The first day focuses on spinal endoscopy, with separate monoportal and biportal modules (you can choose only one of them, depending on your interests or center-practice).

Participants will explore endoscopy fundamentals, learn through student-directed sessions, and engage in practical training on realistic spine models. 

The second day is dedicated to cranial endoscopy, starting with lectures on transnasal approaches, extended techniques, and endoscopic management of conditions such as hydrocephalus and intraventricular tumors. Participants will train the approaches on cadavers in a wet lab session. The main focus of the pratical part will be on transnasal transsphenoidal approaches.
