Course Overview

The GSI Hip & Knee Replacement Cadaveric Workshop is a Master Course in arthroplasty designed for practising orthopaedic surgeons seeking advanced hands-on training in joint replacement surgery. The program combines evidence-based learning with cadaveric dissection, providing a realistic operative environment to refine surgical techniques, understand implant selection and alignment strategies, and strengthen decision-making for both primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty.

Participants gain the confidence, precision, and up-to-date knowledge required to improve patient outcomes, optimise perioperative care, and stay current with modern arthroplasty practice. The workshop also introduces newer surgical technologies and practical approaches that support safer and more efficient joint replacement procedures.

At the Global Surgical Institute's Cadaveric Workshop, expert faculty guide participants through hip and knee arthroplasty on cadaveric specimens, integrating focused lectures, case-based discussions, and extensive supervised hands-on dissection. With limited participant intake and personalised mentorship, the program is designed to translate cadaveric experience into confident, safe, and effective operative practice.

Learning Objectives

Refine surgical techniques for managing sinonasal and skull base tumours.
Explore advanced trans-orbital and sagittal skull base approaches.
Develop a strong understanding of endoscopic anatomy and key surgical landmarks.
Apply evidence-based strategies for diagnosing and managing complex pathologies.
Enhance clinical decision-making in advanced rhinology and skull base cases.

Learning Methodology

Hands-on cadaveric training to practise endoscopic rhinology and skull base surgery techniques.
Step-by-step demonstrations of each procedure by expert faculty before participant practice.
Guided skill stations covering access, navigation, decompression, and reconstruction techniques.
Case-based discussions on indications, challenges, and complication management.
Continuous feedback and personalised mentoring to refine surgical technique and build confidence.

Learning Outcomes

Confidently perform key endoscopic sinus and skull base procedures.
Identify and safely navigate critical anatomical landmarks.
Apply trans-orbital techniques for accessing different quadrants of the orbit and skull base.
Integrate anatomical knowledge with surgical planning to handle complex sinonasal and orbital pathologies.
Enhance surgical skill set with refined dissection techniques and reconstructive approaches.

Be prepared to translate cadaveric experience into operative competence in clinical practice.
