2026/2027 | nervemonitoring & (auto)fluorescence imaging in thyroid surgery | NL

Welcome to the 20. English cIONM in thyroid surgery course of Arkana Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is now routinely used in thyroid surgery. The combination of intermittent and continuous neurophysiological monitoring (cIONM), however, allows for real-time monitoring of nerve function. In addition the usage auf autofluorescene to identify the parathyroid glands is demonstrated. In the course, the participants will learn the methods of neurophysiology and imaging in thyroid surgery from theoretical principles to practical applications. The combination of self-study video tutorials and observation of live-surgeries at the University Medical Center in Amsterdam offers flexibility in the time to watch the theoretical content, and at the same time, offers intensive exchange in the small group during the practical part. Upon completion of the course, the participants will be able to use the cIONM and autofluorescene more confidently and effectively in their clinical practice, improving patient safety.
