This job will be suitable for candidates with experience in Neurosurgery at a trainee level (≥5 years) and ideally for those who have completed their neurosurgical training or are practicing neurosurgeons with a desire to obtain experience in expanded endoscopic endonasal and complementary open skull base work. It will be ideal for those with some prior experience of open skull base and basic endoscopic endonasal neurosurgery.
The successful applicant will be exposed to the full spectrum of endoscopic endonasal surgery with an emphasis on the expanded techniques. This will include relevant work in the sagittal and the coronal skull base with comprehensive exposure to expanded sellar and suprasellar approaches as well as the transpterygoid approaches. The surgical pathologies being treated using the expanded endoscopic endonasal and complementary open skull base approaches when applicable, will include pituitary (functional and non-functional adenomas) with an emphasis on complex adenomas; craniopharyngiomas; skull base meningiomas with a particular emphasis on tuberculum sella and planum meningiomas; chordoma and chondrosarcomas; sinonasal pathologies including esthesioneuroblastomas and adenocystic carcinomas; trigeminal schwannomas; other posterior fossa meningiomas and anterior cranio-cervical pathology. The fellow will also be exposed to complementary open anterolateral and posterior skull base approaches during the treatment of skull base and vascular pathologies
