Congress Website Goes Live to the World April 2016 marked the launch of a global educational website of the UPMC Center for Skull Base Surgery (skullbasecongress.com). The concept for the website grew out of the experience of the international skull base courses held regularly in Pittsburgh since 2005. There was a need to build on the course experience and continue a dialog with surgeons around the globe. The Skull Base Cente r partnered with a local web development company, Treatspace, that specializes in building medical communities. Within weeks of its launch, nearly 300 surgeons from around the globe joined the Skull Base Congress. The site is organized a round Case Presentations that represent the diversity of skull base diseases. Each case presents a surgical video with corresponding anatomy, surgical steps, and related scientific literature. Members of the Congress can test their knowledge with quizzes and participate in group discussions. “We want this to be a true global community in the most literal sense of the word,” says Dr. Carl Snyderman. “Social media is ubiquitous and has become the preferred medium for sharing information. We wanted to create an online home for skull base surgeons that shares the latest advances and provides a forum for discussion. We all learn from each other’s experiences and can assist each other in the care of patients despite geographic and political boundaries.” Members responded with enthusiasm to the site. Joseph Balogun, neurosurgery instructor from Nigeria said he joined for “educational and collaborative opportunities with other skull base surgeons.” Pablo Barcelo, staff neurosurgeon from Argentina said “constant learning” is his impetus for joining. Lucas Possatti, neurosurgeon and neuroanatomy auxiliary professor from Brazil expressed his expectations of the website, “My main goal is to learn more about anatomical aspects of the different approaches to the skull base, surgical techniques and complications; improve my surgical results and consequently the care provided to the patients; to establish a network to carry out studies for scientific publications. I believe that if we master the different surgical techniques and work as a team, we can offer the best available treatment for each patient.” John Clarkson from New Zealand joined the site because “It looks like a valuable educational resource endorsed by highly credible skull base surgeons.” In its first two months, already a new, unplanned feature has emerged on the website—an open forum blog entitled “Gray Matters,” intended to enable discussion of medical and surgical topics that are not clearly defined or that would prompt discussion among medical professionals related to newly emerging research and techniques. The website will continue to grow and evolve based on feedback from members. Potential future enhancements include links to other professional websites, and an informational community for medical device companies to drive the development of new technologies for skull base surgery.
