Faculty list subject to modification
The AO ASIF Advanced Symposium on Craniomaxillofacial Reconstruction is designed for surgeons who have interest/experience in stable fixation techniques and philosophy. The invited Faculty will include clinicians from all three specialties (Oral and Maxillofacial, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery) known for their expertise in their respective fields and in the principles and techniques of stable fixation.
The focus will be on advances as well as controversies in the area of craniomaxillofacial traumatology and reconstructive surgery. The format will consist of lectures, case presentations and panel discussions both in the morning and afternoon sessions (7:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m.) and focused workshops during the later afternoon sessions (Monday and Tuesday evenings until 7:00 p.m.).
The Symposium will have several parallel goals and objectives, including the presentation of recent advances in craniomaxillofacial surgical technique, medical therapy, imaging and biomaterial. In keeping with the millennial year of the Symposium, we will also provide a historical perspective as an introduction to the program. However, the core theme will be on difficult problems in craniomaxillofacial surgery that continue to challenge even the most experienced surgeons among us. A large part of the program is structured to address very specific complex clinical problems, including surgical access to critical anatomy, sequencing and concurrent reconstruction of multiple injuries, avoidance of mistakes, managing complications and resolving technical dilemmas encountered in our practices.
Free Papers will be presented during the afternoon sessions.
Panel discussions will allow for participant exchange and case analysis; focused workshops will also increase the interaction between participants and Faculty.
Enrollment in this Course is open to attending surgeons and residents in Oral and Maxillofacial, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and other surgical specialties involved with stable internal fixation.
At the conclusion of this Course, the participant should be able to:
