Advanced Neurosurgery Fellowship Training - AI assisted & Robotic precision

Advanced Neurosurgery Fellowship

AI-Assisted & Robotic Precision Neurosurgery Program

Duration: 1 Week (5 Working Days)

Venue: Medistate Hospital, Kavacık - Istanbul - Turkiye

Program Provider: Sky Medical Academy

Program Director: Prof. Tolga Turan Dündar, MD

 

Program Overview

This 1-week intensive neurosurgery fellowship is designed to provide participants with high-volume clinical exposure to advanced neurosurgical procedures, integrating:

• Artificial Intelligence in Neurosurgery

• Robotic & Navigation-Assisted Surgery

• Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery

• Precision Treatment Approaches

Participants will be directly exposed to complex neurosurgical cases, including:

• Brain tumors (gliomas, metastases)

• Cerebral aneurysms

• Vascular malformations (AVM, cavernomas)

• Skull base lesions

The program emphasizes real-time surgical decision-making, intraoperative technologies, and clinical exposure.

 

Key Learning Objectives

• Apply AI-supported surgical planning tools

• Understand robotic & neuronavigation systems in neurosurgery

• Perform case-based clinical decision making

• Gain exposure to minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques

• Observe and assist in high-risk vascular and tumor surgeries
