Main Areas of Interest

It is a great pleasure to invite to our institute for endoscopic and endoscope-assisted neurosurgery here in Greifswald. During the program, you will see various neurosurgical interventions including ventricular endoscopy, endoscope-assisted skull base surgery, and endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery in our endoscopic OR, equipped with state-of-the-art HD technology.

During the surgeries you will see the advantages of endoscopic visualization especially in narrow and deep surgical corridors or when looking around a corner or behind neurovascular structures.

Please note: This is an observership, no hands-on possible due to local law.

1. Hospitality by the program director: I stayed with the program for one month. They welcomed me from day one, introduced me to the whole group and later gave me access to The Hospital , Neurosurgery center and the operating room. They involved me in their daily meetings and didactic lectures available throughout my stay with them. In all , they were very hospitable 2. Teaching Skills of the program director; The program director had excellent teaching skills and is assisted by his Staff and fellows. He taught both in the OR , during the daily meetings and sometimes in his office. 3. Drawbacks of the program: A lot of the communications are in German but they make it a point to explain in English as much as possible. I dont speak German and would have been a plus if I did. This is a personal drawback and not that of the program itself. 4. Program rating : 9 out of 10 .: I think its an excellent program but drawback to me is not in English for an English speaker. I learnt some skills which has actually decreased my operating time in straight : forward Endoscopic Endonasal Pituitary Adenoma ressection by 50%.

What is the Program rating

9 out of 10. I think its an excellent program but the drawback to me is not in English for an English speaker. I learned some skills which have actually decreased my operating time in straight forward Endoscopic Endonasal Pituitary Adenoma resection by 50%. - by the previous fellow who spent 12 weeks with Prof Schroeder

Drawbacks of the program

A lot of the communications are in German but they make it a point to explain in English as much as possible. I dont speak German and would have been a plus if I did. This is a personal drawback and not that of the program itself.

Teaching Skills of the program director

The program director had excellent teaching skills and is assisted by his Staff and fellows. He taught both in the OR , during the daily meetings and sometimes in his office- by previous fellows from Africa

Any previous feedback on the hospitality

I stayed with the program for one month. They welcomed me from day one, introduced me to the whole group, and later gave me access to The Hospital, Neurosurgery center, and the operating room. They involved me in their daily meetings and didactic lectures available throughout my stay with them. In all , they were very hospitable- by previous fellow
