About the course

The course is designed to provide a comprehensive and immersive experience through hands-on

cadaver dissection and advanced three-dimensional visualisation to ensure that participants acquire the

practical skills and anatomical knowledge necessary to perform surgical procedures involving the thyroid

and parathyroid glands.

During this course participants will learn to conduct a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the

anatomy of the neck with a particular emphasis on accurately identifying and preserving key structures

(such as the laryngeal nerves and parathyroid glands) and will also acquire a comprehensive

understanding of the anatomical variations in order to avoid complications.

Critical thinking will be encouraged through a multidisciplinary approach in order to select the most

appropriate surgical technique for each case. Surgical procedures, namely parathyroidectomy,

thyroidectomy, lymph node neck dissection, sternotomy and emergency procedures, will be practiced

using hands-on cadaver resources, commented live surgeries and case discussions.
