Welcome Message

Dear friends and colleagues,

We hope that you are all in good health and good spirits.

The 2025 IFNE- JSNE- GLEN- NESI-CSNE Hands-on Workshop on Cerebral, Ventricular, Skull Base and Spine Neuroendoscopy will be held in Naples-Italy from 3 to 7 February 2025.

For another year, we have the implicit support of Japanese Society of Neuroendoscopy (JSNE), Grupo Latinoamericano de Estudios en Neuroendoscopia (GLEN), Neuroendoscopy Society-India (NESI), Chinese Society for Neuroendoscopy (CSNE), Societa Italiana Neurochirurgia (SINCH), This year we will have the honour to host a joint workshop with a delegation of the British Neuro Endoscopy Society (BNES). A special thanks goes to Centro di Biotecnologie A.O.R.N.” Antonio Cardarelli” that will help the realization of our event for another year. Thanks to extensive works of enlargement of working surfaces in the hands-on area, we will be able to offer excellent social distancing during hands-on still maintaining a good number of trainees (44) for 22 working stations.

As usual, enthusiastic faculty participation will allow the excellent Tutor/Trainees ratio of 1x2 confirming the presence of a world expert at each hands-on workstation for two trainees. This year, the Scientific Program will bring a rich assortment of lectures, video presentations, live demonstration on anatomical models and dissection videos. You will find educational sessions exploring ventricular endoscopy, cerebral endoscopy and skull base endoscopy delivered by world-renowned international faculty. This year endoscopic repair of craniosynostosis will be performed on very hyghly realistic anatomical models of Scaphocephaly, Trigonocephaly and Plagiocephaly  offered by Upsurgeon.com. Thanks to the contribution of the Japanese Society, this year very dynamic and realistic models of Internal Carotid artery rupture and bleeding aneurysm will be available, with an affordable additional cost, in order to train how to deal with serious intraoperative complications under exoscopic and endoscopic control. Our workshop welcomes senior, students and recent graduate neurosurgeons who practice or want to practice neuroendoscopic surgery. Between each session, participants will have the opportunity to network and connect with other scientists from all over the world.

For the first time, this year we have introduced also an additional workshop on Spine Endoscopy, that will allow the trainee to get familiar with the monoportal and biportal surgical techniques for disc herniation and spinal canal decompression.

The transfer of knowledge knows no boundaries and throughout this evolving situation, we are here with the goal of making learning more accessible and inspire interaction. Your active participation will undoubtedly contribute to a successful and productive meeting.
