Description: Think you know your anatomy? Think again!

Join Prof Stephen Lewis for a fascinating journey beneath the facial skeleton and into the complex world of the skull base, brought to life through spectacular 3D anatomical dissections. Explore the maxilla, orbit, frontal sinus, skull base and upper neck as you've never seen them before, revealing the intricate anatomical relationships, hidden corridors and surgical danger zones that every OMFS surgeon should know.

But this won't be your conventional anatomy lecture! Drawing on more than a decade of experience teaching advanced skull base anatomy, Dr Lewis will put your anatomical knowledge to the test with challenging questions, clinical scenarios and a little friendly competition. Expect a lively, interactive session where the anatomy comes alive, the questions get progressively harder and everyone gets involved.

Speaker Biography
