This course originates from the close collaboration
experienced and established over many years between the
three professionals most involved in the surgical treatment
of lesions of the anterior skull base. We believe, and the
results have proved us right, that the achievement of the best
treatment in such complex anatomical regions can be born
only from an accurate preoperative study, the realization of
several surgical procedures and the care of every detail during
the post-operative period carried out in a close collaboration
among Otolaryngologists, Maxilo-Facial surgeons and
Neurosurgeons. The relatively recent introduction of
endoscopic surgery and the huge expansion of the latter has
further expanded the possibilities of collaboration.
On the other hand those who want to approach to this type of
pathologies necessarily have to know not only the techniques
and possibilities of endoscopy but also the open techniques
which are essential to face certain situations or clinical
manifestations.
The experience of many years of shared work between two
surgical university schools with great traditions such as
Modena and Verona besides a personal friendship established
over time has enabled us both to joint the three specialties
and to create a group that is inspired by the same principles
