2023 Bass Symposium on Neurosurgical Innovation: Topics in Pediatric Neurosurgery (RP2303A)
About the Symposium
In a time of constant and ever-growing attempts to tailor specific treatments for individual patients, pediatric neurosurgery represents a frontier field. Research in molecular biology and genetics has been shedding new light on the pathophysiological mechanisms at the basis of pediatric neurosurgical diseases. Such novel comprehension can prospectively lead to better risk stratification and intervention choices in situations where not only the kind of disease, but also the phase of growth of the individual child has to be taken into consideration. Knowing what to do and when to do it in cases of pediatric oncological, dysmorphogenetic, and hydrocephalic pathologies is our challenge; anticipating long-term neuropsychological outcomes in terms of global functionality is our ideal purpose.
The 2023 Bass Symposium will provide pediatricians, neurosurgeons, nurses and healthcare teams an update on clinical and research advancements, particularly noting current and emerging state-of-the art innovations related to pediatric neurosurgery. After attending this Symposium, we expect that all participants will have enhanced knowledge regarding these innovations to meet the challenges faced in pediatric neurosurgery today, and be able to apply this knowledge to their clinical practice.
