NET-Lab CHUV, Lausanne, Switzerland — 23–24 October 2026 A two-day, hands-on microsurgical course dedicated to vascular dissection and intracranial bypass techniques, limited to 10 participants to guarantee intensive individual training and direct faculty supervision. Participants progress through a structured skills pathway: knot-tying and anastomosis on synthetic models, then end-to-end, end-to-side and side-to-side anastomoses on dyed-perfused human placenta, with simulation of operative field depth and aneurysm training models. Each stage includes formal evaluation of the anastomosis, allowing participants to measure their own progression across the two days. Short theoretical sessions frame the laboratory work, covering bypass indications and techniques, opening of the Sylvian fissure, and the surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms, delivered by an international faculty from Switzerland, China, Denmark, France and Italy. Course director: Dr Giulia Cossu, Neurosurgery, CHUV, Lausanne. Accreditation: 16 SSNC credits. Fees: CHF 610 for EANS members (10% discount), CHF 680 non-members; theoretical course only CHF 150; social dinner CHF 70. Registration: QR code on the flyer or myriam.annabi@chuv.ch
