AO CMF NA Course-Hot Topics in CMF Reconstruction (with HAS)
Date: May 31, 2024 - June 2, 2024
Reconstruction of complex facial defects requires a wide range of advanced surgical techniques to restore normal facial form and function. Traditionally, post-oncological and post-traumatic defects required procedures aimed at recruiting large volumes of distant tissue to augment or replace lost or retracted soft tissue. Composite tissue transplantation is the most aggressive example of this paradigm. More recently, a set of reconstructive procedures have been developed to provide the basis of craniomaxillofacial gender affirmation.
