SCOPO DEL CORSO e OBIETTIVI DIDATTICI

The course will cover the broad range of problems of head and neck with emphasis on the neck contracture. Preoperative diagnosis, evaluation, planning and operative techniques of this specific area will be presented in detail. The course is directed to surgeons with all levels of experience in free flap head and neck reconstruction. The invited guest Claudio Angrigiani and the discussant Phillip Blondeel have broad based knowledge in a variety of these procedures and a willingness to share their experience with the participants. They designed the program to be of interest to attendees considering initiating free flaps in head and neck reconstruction on a limited basis of practice and surgeons who routinely perform reconstruction. Interaction with the invited guest is encouraged through questions and answers opportunity throughout the duration of the course. The afternoon program will include a review of pertinent operative anatomy and detailed descriptions of the surgical technique employed for harvesting the perforator flaps for neck reconstruction in clinical practice. Factors that frequently influence intraoperative decision making will also be discussed. Panels will focus on critical issues and controversies facing surgeon who perform free flaps reconstructions, including management of complications and means for enhancing operative outcomes and safety.

At the end of this program, attendees should be able to:

  • describe the approaches to common reconstructive problems encountered in neck area
  • discuss the current controversies in planning consistent results for reconstructive procedures
  • manage common complications
  • practice with an improved awareness related to patient safety issues and concerns
  • understand the fundamental principles of flap anatomy and design
  • acquire basic skills for traditional and perforator flap harvesting technique
  • select the appropriate recipients vessels for microsurgery
