Cadaver Course
Advanced Oculoplastic Dissection – The Functional and Aesthetic Continuum
While the official dates of the congress remain September 10-12, the scientific and educational experience of ESOPRS 2026 will be further enhanced this year.
In addition to the established congress programme, we are pleased to offer-exceptionally for 2026-a Pre-Congress Cadaver Dissection Course on September 9. This exclusive initiative represents a unique academic opportunity and a true educational highlight of the meeting.
This advanced, hands-on cadaver course will provide participants with the opportunity to explore surgical anatomy in depth, refine advanced techniques, and strengthen clinical decision-making within a structured, high-level educational setting. This exceptional initiative further elevates the scientific profile of the meeting and reflects ESOPRS’ enduring commitment to excellence in surgical education.
The course is ideally suited for oculoplastic surgeons, fellows, and experienced ophthalmologists seeking to advance their expertise in both reconstructive and aesthetic oculoplastic surgery.
