Taming the Beast: Multi-Team Strategies for Efficient Infratemporal Fossa Tumor Resection
7th March, 2026, 13:20 - 14:20
Pacific D
Infratemporal fossa tumors often require the orchestration of 2–3 specialized surgical teams for safe, effective resection. This session will share practical strategies to streamline these complex operations, including the integration of virtual surgical planning, augmented reality, and AI to improve intraoperative efficiency and confidence. Who should attend: Skull base and head and neck surgeons, neurosurgeons, and fellows seeking advanced techniques for complex infratemporal approaches.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Recommend strategies to improve efficiency in multi-team infratemporal fossa tumor resections.
- Demonstrate the role of virtual surgical planning to optimize preoperative planning and intraoperative execution.
- Illustrate the use of augmented reality to enhance surgical precision and confidence during resection.
