During the well-attended congress dinner, ESBS Honorary memberships were granted to Wolfgang Draf and Albert Rhoton.
Two pre-congress courses were offered: “3-D Anatomy and Approaches to the Skull Base” and “Cadaver Dissection Demonstrations on Different Skull Base Approaches”.
One post-congress course was offered: “Hands-on Course on Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery”.
The response of the delegates on the organization, the scientific and educational aspects and the atmosphere of the ESBS Congress 2009 was overwhelmingly positive.
All three courses were highly valued by their participants and rated as extremely instructive, perfectly equipped and very well organized.
This confirms that the ESBS is successful in providing a multidisciplinary, scientific and educational forum on skull base surgery and pathology.
