We are glad to inform you that the registration for the 14th Annual EANS Young Neurosurgeons’ Meeting and Research Course,  taking place in Sicily, Italy, on 3-5 May 2025, is now open!

Join us to explore the latest state-of-the-art advancements, challenges, and controversies in Skull Base and Neuro-oncology (Brain and Spine). Engage in thought-provoking discussions with senior experts in the field. On 4 May, we will also host a parallel European Symposium dedicated to the innovative applications of nTMS in Neurosurgery.

The meeting will feature interactive sessions where participants will be able to explore with EANS experts and their young peers the most effective and up-to-date management techniques of specific cases.

Registration is also open for the 5 pre-meeting hands-on workshops, taking place on 3 May. These workshops boast cutting-edge technologies, including VR, to enhance the training experience of the delagates:

• Microsurgical resection of Brain Tumors
• Endoscopic Endonasal Trans-sphenoidal surgery
• Endoscopic Spine surgery
• Advanced decompression and instrumentation in Spinal Oncology, and
• Microvascular Sutures and Bypass.

Moreover, in our effort to make Young Neurosurgeons the true protagonists of this meeting, you can now submit your abstracts and your videos on the following topics:

1. Skull Base: 

• Neuroanatomy in Skull Base surgery
• Skull Base approaches to Anterior/Middle/Posterior Cranial Fossa
• Skull Base approaches to Craniovertebral Junction
• IONM in Skull Base surgery
• Surgical treatment of Skull Base Lesions
• Endoscopic treatment of Skull Base Lesions
• Modern technologies in Skull Base surgery (including VR, AR, MR)
• Complications and controversies in Skull Base surgery

2. Neuro-oncology (Brain)

• Functional neuroanatomy in Brain Neuro-oncology
• Brain connectivity in Brain Neuro-oncology
• Surgical treatment of Brain Tumors (gliomas, metastases, others)
• Awake Surgery
• IONM in Brain Tumor surgery
• Non-surgical treatment of Brain Tumors
• Modern technologies in Brain Neuro-oncology (including VR, AR, MR)
• Complications and controversies in Brain Neuro-oncology

3. Neuro-oncology (Spine):

• Primary Spine Tumors
• Intradural intramedullary Spine Tumors
• Intradural extramedullary Spine Tumors
• Metastatic Spine Tumors
• Minimally invasive surgery for Spine Tumors
• IONM in Spinal Tumor surgery
• Non-surgical treatment of Spine Tumors (radiofrequency ablation, RT, etc.)
• Complications and controversies in Spine Oncology
• Modern technologies in Spine Neuro-oncology (including VR, AR, MR)
• Robotic Spine surgery

4. nTMS Symposium:

• nTMS motor mapping
• nTMS language mapping
• nTMS mapping of complex functions
• White matter tractography
• nTMS-based preoperative planning for risk stratification
• nTMS-based neuromodulation
• Other nTMS applications in Neurosurgery

The best abstracts and videos will be selected for presentation in dedicated oral sessions, where the presenting authors will have the opportunity to present their work in-depth. The remaining abstracts will be showcased during specific oral E-poster sessions.
