Craniofacial Surgical Emergencies Course
Hands-on Cadaver Workshop
Thursday, 19. November 2026
08:00–13:00
Institute of AnatomyÂ
University of Basel
This intensive workshop provides hands-on cadaver training in the management of time-critical craniofacial and neck emergencies.
Participants will gain practical experience in surgical airway management (cricothyroidotomy, tracheotomy, and submental intubation), hemorrhage control and vascular injury management (vascular access, temporary vascular shunting, nasal packing and tamponade), orbital decompression for compartment syndrome and ocular emergencies.
Additional immersive VR-based case discussions will provide scenario-based training and enhance clinical decision-making in emergency situations.
