Following 6 successful editions, we will resume our goal of providing state-of-the-art hands-on experience on Pediatric Neurosurgery. The location is well-known:<strong>\u00a0Lyon-France<\/strong>, on<strong>\u00a0June 27 \u2013 June 30, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Introductory lectures by renowned experts will ensure sufficient theoretical background is provided, addressing at the same time some important interdisciplinary issues. Extensive hands-on sessions will ensure that theory is put to good use, and will include close exchange regarding tips and tricks, as well as practical issues of surgical treatment.<\/p><p>Participation is limited to 16 delegates, to facilitate interaction between attendees and Faculty and to enhance the hands-on experience. Registration will be offered on a first-come first-registered basis; however, priority will be given to trainees in their final year of internship or trained neurosurgeons. For this Workshop to be fruitful, trainees must have sufficient neurosurgical experience.<\/p><p>The Department of Anatomy has considerable experience and expertise in this field; it is hosting the EANS hands-on courses and several neurosurgical workshops since several years. LYON is easily accessible by both air and railway.<\/p><p>We, Patrick Mertens, past President of the French Neurosurgical Society, and myself, cordially invite you to participate and look forward to welcoming you in Lyon in June 2026 personally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d6846e e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0d6846e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-759223a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"759223a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Federico Di Rocco\u00a0 <\/strong><br \/>ESPN President,<br \/>Chair of the Local Organizing Committee<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-389804e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"389804e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Alexandru Szathmari <\/strong><br \/>Co-Chair of the Local Organizing Committee<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-219b8e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"219b8e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Massimiliano Visocchi<\/strong><br \/>Chairman\u00a0 of WFNS CVJ Committee<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Colleagues and Friends, On behalf of the European Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, it is my great pleasure and honor to invite you for the 7th consecutive year to the\u00a07th ESPN Workshop.
