This workshop is accessible for neurosurgeons and neurosurgical nurses. During the past 15 years, I organized 15th editions of this hands-on workshop. The workshop involves hands-on training in the application of endoscopic instruments for a broad spectrum of indications. There will be interactive teaching videos and discussion on operative techniques and demonstration the organisation of the operation theatre and the role of the scrub nurse.

The social program of the workshop embraces the city of Ghent by highlighting the best it has to offer. Nowhere else you will find so much history per square metre in a pedestrian historical city centre. A city embedded in the Middle Ages when Ghent was, next to Paris, the second largest town north of the Alps. In Ghent pounds the young heart of a dazzling city of culture full of music, theatre, film and visual arts. Ghent is a city where cultural perspectives are constantly renewed and enlarged, where culture is a feast and where feasting is a form of culture. And also let’s not forget the people, for they undoubtedly add to the unique atmosphere in our sparkling city of culture. I must proudly say that it was for good reason that Ghent was recently voted third most authentic historical city center worldwide by the National Geographic Traveler Magazine.
