Upper Extremity Course with Esser Masterclass
Upper Extremity Course with Esser Masterclass
Dates: Thursday, March 11 and Friday, March 12, 2026
Location: Erasmus MC – Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Target Audience: Peripheral Nerve Surgeons interested in learning upper extremity techniques.
This nerve course is a joint effort of the GNF, FESSH and Esser Masterclass.
Upper extremity nerve problems are part of a nerve surgeon‘s everyday practice.
The course is divided into two days, each focusing on different aspects of nerve disorders. During the first day, nerve compression, lesions, and repair will be discussed. The second day will concentrate on neuropathic pain, joint denervation, and nerve transfers.
The practical sessions will be performed on fresh frozen cadavers with two participants per extremity.
