Microvascular Surgery Course
Course Date:
23-24, March 2024
Course Objective:
The application of microvascular techniques to problems in reconstructive surgery has enabled the surgeon to revascularize ischemic digits, replant amputated digits, and to transfer directly composite tissue from one area of the body to another for reconstructive purposes. The success of these procedures is directly dependent upon the ability to perform and maintain patent microvascular anastomoses. This course is specially designed to equip delegates to learn microvascular suturing techniques, with hands-on guidance by expert Faculty. The course also addresses the various types offlap surgeries and their use, and also on reconstruction for different specialties.
Who should attend:
We invite surgeons from all specialties:
- General Surgery, Gynaecology, ENT, Plastic Surgery, Neurosurgery, to name a few.
- Residents, surgeons in their initial phase of practice, and even senior surgeons who wish to update their knowledge and skills in reconstructive surgery should definitely attend this course.
