4th Advanced DBS & VNS Cadaver Course
Istanbul – Turkey
28–30 January 2027
Welcome to the Advanced DBS & VNS Cadaver Course
Welcome to the 4th Advanced DBS & VNS Cadaver Course, taking place from 28–30 January 2027 in Istanbul, Turkey.
This specialized course is designed for neurosurgeons, neurologists, and medical professionals involved in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), and neuromodulation. It offers an intensive educational experience combining expert lectures, practical cadaveric training, simulation, and interactive case discussions.
Participants will have the opportunity to strengthen their understanding of the surgical, anatomical, and neurophysiological principles of DBS and VNS while developing practical skills in a controlled training environment.
Hands-On DBS and VNS Training
A central part of the course is dedicated to hands-on cadaveric dissection and surgical simulation. Participants will gain practical experience in key aspects of neuromodulation surgery, including anatomical orientation, electrode placement, targeting techniques, and surgical planning.
The program also addresses challenging clinical scenarios and provides opportunities to discuss different approaches with experienced faculty and fellow participants.
Learn From Leading Experts in Neuromodulation
The course brings together specialists with extensive experience in Deep Brain Stimulation, functional neurosurgery, neurology, and neuromodulation.
Through comprehensive lectures and interactive sessions, participants will explore:
- Patient selection and clinical indications for DBS and VNS
- Pre-operative planning and targeting strategies
- DBS surgical techniques and electrode placement
- Neurophysiological principles of neuromodulation
- Post-operative management and follow-up
- Management of challenging and complex cases
- Recent advances in DBS technology
- Emerging tools and future developments in neuromodulation
Join Us in Istanbul
The 4th Advanced DBS & VNS Cadaver Course provides an excellent opportunity to refine surgical skills, exchange clinical experience, and connect with colleagues who share an interest in functional neurosurgery and neuromodulation.
We look forward to welcoming you to Istanbul, Turkey, from 28–30 January 2027 for three days of advanced education, practical training, and professional exchange.
The Deep Brain Stimulation and Vagal Nerve Stimulation Cadaver Course offers an advanced hands-on training experience designed to strengthen participants’ understanding of surgical anatomy, procedural planning, and modern neuromodulation techniques. In addition, the course provides practical exposure to key surgical landmarks, electrode positioning, targeting strategies, and operative approaches. Therefore, participants can develop a more detailed understanding of the anatomical and technical principles required for both deep brain stimulation and vagal nerve stimulation procedures. Moreover, expert-guided cadaveric dissection allows participants to connect theoretical knowledge with realistic surgical practice in a structured educational environment.
Furthermore, the Deep Brain Stimulation and Vagal Nerve Stimulation Cadaver Course combines practical cadaveric training with interactive case discussions, clinical decision-making, and updates in neuromodulation. As a result, neurosurgeons and neurologists can refine their procedural skills while also improving their understanding of patient selection, surgical planning, and complex clinical scenarios. Additionally, the course encourages professional exchange between participants and experienced faculty. Ultimately, this comprehensive training program provides an excellent opportunity to expand knowledge, enhance surgical confidence, and stay updated with current developments in deep brain stimulation and vagal nerve stimulation.
