Dear colleagues Following the great success of the last years workshops, it is my pleasure to announce the 4th Homburger Neuroendoscopy Week at the Department of Neurosurgery Saarland University, Homburg / Germany,under the reputable auspices of the WFNS and the IFNE. The workshop is divided into two modules, involving endoscopic spine surgery (modulE 1) and intracranial endoscopy (modulE 2). We will provide comprehensive lectures, interesting live surgery cases and hands-on-lessons in animal models and human cadavers.Also this year we have the great pleasure to present lectures about state of the art neuroendoscopy by internationally renowned ExpErts:

■ S. Constantini, M.D. PhD (Israel) Mod. 2■ E. Cornips, M.D. (The Netherlands) Mod. 1, 2■ H. Delye, M.D. PhD (The Netherlands) Mod. 2■ A. O. Gushcha, M.D. PhD (Russia) Mod. 1■ J. Y. K.
