The workshop's morning session will provide participants with exposure to flap procedures of increasing importance in clinical plastic surgery practice. The afternoon session will focus on forearm tendon and nerve transfers. The procedures undertaken will provide participants with a detailed understanding of upper limb clinical anatomy. Each hands-on cadaveric session will feature two participants per station under the instruction of an expert faculty member.
Workshop Content
The following sessions feature 100% hands-on content and will be tailored to provide participants with appropriate surgical training for their level of ability and skill set. Each participant will have access to a dedicated cadaveric arm and hand and will benefit from practising procedures in a supportive, authentic clinical environment.
