INVITATION LETTER

It will be a great pleasure to welcome you at the 2 nd Deep Brain Stimulation and Pain Interventions Cadaver Course in Istanbul, Turkiye on May 26 – 27, 2023.

We are honored to announce that, our course is under the auspices of the World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (WSSFN), and international neuromodulation Society (INS), and World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) and in collaboration with Middle-Eastern Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (MSSFN), and with the Turkish Neurosurgery Society Stereotactic, Functional, Pain and Epilepsy Surgery Education and Training Group.

I am sure, like previous course which we held last year, this face-to-face course will host a perfect harmony and mutual exchange of knowledge and experiences among speakers/trainers and participants from different countries and continents.

The participants will have the opportunity to listen to the experiences of the most important names in the field of Interventional Neuromodulation, Stereotactic Lesioning and Deep Brain Stimulation approaches such as; Andres Lozano, Kelly Foote, Michael Okun, Marwan Hariz, Patric Blomstedt, Konstantin Slavin, Robert Levy, Georgios Matis, Ali Savaş and Suleyman Özyalçın, and they will have a chance about hands-on training in these areas. This course will provide the opportunity to be informed about the innovations and new developments on these subjects and will give the opportunity to carry out the initiatives on cadavers with basic training directly from the most important names of this field.

Participants' achievements will be as follows;

• Lectures about new developments, emerging indications and the future of Neuromodulation.
• Deep Brain Stimulation hands-on cadaver course

We think that our course, which has managed formerly to bring together 23 countries and 5 continents in our beautiful city of Istanbul, which brings together 2 continents and deserves the title of being a world city, is an opportunity for those who wants to make a start in this subject or improve their knowledge.

We will be very happy to see you among us on this course where the number of trainees per station will be strictly limited for the quality of education.

Sincerely,
