AO CMF Course—Reconstructive Surgery in Head and Neck with Flap Harvesting (with Human Anatomical Specimens)
Refine your skills and advance your expertise in head and neck reconstructive surgery
This 2.5-day course is a hands-on event encompassing state-of-the-art reconstructive techniques using a variety of free and pedicled flaps in the head and neck performed on human anatomical specimens.
The expert faculty will share their techniques, tips, and tricks for dealing with complications and salvage surgery. Participants will be introduced to computer-assisted planning for some bone flaps. Two participants will share one half of a human anatomical specimen for the flap harvesting procedures.
