Florian Roser, MD PhD, is Chief of the Neurological Institute and Department Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Cleveland Clinic, Abu Dhabi since it’s inception in 2014.
Dr. Roser is a graduate of the Johannes-Gutenberg-University in Mainz/GER, and studied Medicine in Morgantown, West Virginia/USA, as well as in Johannesburg/SA. He completed his residency in the prestigious Department of Neurosurgery, Hannover Nordstadt with Prof. Dr. Madjid Samii, a Skullbase fellowship at the University of Tübingen/GER (Prof Tatagiba) and Spine fellowship at the National Institute of Neurosurgery and Neurology, Queens Square, London/UK.
He is a Full Professor of Neurosurgery at the Eberhard-Karls University of Tübingen in Germany, serves as Clinical Professor of Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at the Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, US and is Adjunct Professor at the Biomedical Engineering Faculty at Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi.
Dr. Roser has authored over 128 peer-reviewed articles (h-index 39) and has presented more than 190 invited lectures worldwide. He is Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, Elsevier since 2020. Prof. Roser has received several research grants from prestigious research institutions, for basic molecular research on meningioma tissue, clinical research on diagnostics in Syringomyelia and technical innovations in surgical anatomy.
The 200 steps for successful vestibular schwannoma surgery
1108 08:00-08:10
Skull Base/304A
besides many other factors, the successful surgical resection of skull based meningiomas depends on the texture of the tumour tissue. Meningiomas can express various features, behaviours and appearances making intra-operative management challenging at times. Even with sophisticated preoperative imaging, prediction of tumour texture is barely possible. The lecture highlights the current state of predictive factors in imaging such as T2/FLAIR/DWI mismatch, CISS/FIESTA imaging and provides surgical examples - which certainly influences choice of approach and surgical outcomes.
State of the art intraoperative monitoring in spinal cord surgery
1109 15:25-15:35
Spine/304A
Spinal cord surgery is one of the most delicate neurosurgical procedures as the the spinal cord is purely eloquent compared to the brain and unforgiving in terms of vascular injury.
Multi-modality neuro-monitoring, including D-wave and surface matching, intra-operative ICG-angiography or DSA-angiography in hybrid OR, close-loop communication with neuro-anesthesia team and surgical techniques can reduce risk of functional deterioration.
The lecture will provide state-of-the-art multi-modality treatment for vascular and tumorous spinal cord lesions.
