2nd Rhoton Society Virtual Meeting and 8th International Zoomposium on Microneurosurgical Anatomy

Friday, September 11, 2020, 5:00 PM - Sunday, September 20, 2020, 6:00 PM PST, Zoom

The Rhoton Society was founded in 2018 in Tianjin, China, by a group of Prof. Rhoton fellows with the goals of honoring and celebrating his life and legacy, and to “keep working” to ensure that the field of microneurosurgical anatomy is embraced by the next generation of neurosurgeons: “We study microsurgical anatomy to make what is a delicate, fateful, awesome experience for our patients, more accurate, gentle, and safe”

The topic of the meeting is Tradition & Innovation, reflecting the importance of adhering to the classic principles of microneurosurgery and at the same time encouraging advancement and progress in our field.

This virtual and global meeting is now structured in 9 sessions with different topics related to skull base, cerebrovascular and complex brain anatomy and surgery. These 9 sessions are designed to cover all geographic time zones -4 Pacific, 4 Atlantic and 1 Middle East - along 2 consecutive weekends and will feature a stellar group of world renown neurosurgeons with recognized expertise in the field of surgical neuroanatomy.
