Welcome

Dear Colleague:

On behalf of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Executive Committee, the Scientific Program Committee, and the 2011 CNS Honored Guest, Dr. H. Hunt Batjer, I welcome you to Washington, DC for the 2011 CNS Annual Meeting, E Pluribus Unum: The Specialty of Neurological Surgery.

This year, we are pleased to once again partner with an international society, the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery, who has been instrumental in planning our 61st Annual Meeting along with our Scientific Program Committee. Our dynamic scientific program offers the expert lectures, case- based courses and sessions, and hands-on training opportunities you need to advance your practice in the constantly changing field of neurosurgery.

Centered on our sub-theme, To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield, our Sunday evening Opening Session and daily General Scientific Sessions address the challenges we as neurosurgeons face in our daily practice and the quest we embark on to ensure our specialty’s future. Our invited speakers—including US Army General (Ret.) Stanley McChrystal and Pulitzer Prize Winning Author, Jon Meacham—will amplify our theme through their lessons on leadership in President’s Message President’s challenging environments.

This CNS Original Science Program highlights the most important clinical developments and basic science research. On Monday afternoon, the Original Science Program features the top Oral Presentations in each subspecialty, followed by the interactive Neurosurgical Forum, while Wednesday afternoon offers a NEW Multidisciplinary Oral Presentations featuring top research that crosses subspecialties.

The education opportunities will continue throughout the day and into the evening, with Consensus Sessions, Section Sessions, Special Courses and the return of the popular Dinner Seminars, where expert faculty cover important clinical issues at four of DC’s top-rated restaurants. Rounding out this vibrant program are two new afternoon sessions—The Art of Managing Complex Cranial Cases: A 3-D Video Presentation on Monday afternoon featuring 3-D video presentations of surgical approaches by leaders in each subspecialty and Tuesday afternoon’s Operative NEUROSURGERY® session highlights important developments published in this NEUROSURGERY® supplement over the past year.

I encourage you to make time during your stay and enjoy the truly magnificent capital of the United States, as well as our abundant auxiliary program and numerous social events including the Opening Reception and the Wine and Cheese Reception with the CNS Exhibitors.

I am excited you are here as we work together to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield new techniques to continually improve our esteemed field.

Sincerely, Welcome colleagues from the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery!

Christopher C. Getch CNS President

Samson Learning Objectives: This 90 minute session will review the important technical nuances for complex cranial cases. Detailed surgical videos of different procedures (for tumors and vascular lesions) will be reviewed using 3D high definition surgical videos to maximize the learning experience for the viewers. The value of step-by-step technical tenets presented in these videos will be augmented by a panel of experts who will further describe their preference in technique and argue the pros and cons of different technical strategies. The following operations will be reviewed in a great detail: dissection of the Sylvian fissure, clip ligation of anterior circulation aneurysms, microvascular decompression for treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm, approaching lesions in the pineal region and posterior third ventricle, extended retromastoid craniotomy for resection of tumors involving cranial nerves, lateral suboccipital approach for removal of meningiomas located in the craniocervical junction, and low and high flow bypass techniques in handling vascular lesions. The novel nuances of technique for handling these operations will be beneficial to the general neurosurgeon who deals with all facets of cranial surgery. Upon completion, participants will be able to plan related surgical techniques to minimize intraoperative complications.
