Faculty list subject to modification
The AO ASIF Advanced Symposium on Craniomaxillofacial Trauma and Reconstruction is designed for surgeons who are familiar with the theory and practice of stable internal fixation techniques. The focus will be on advances as well as controversies in the area of Craniomaxillofacial traumatology and reconstructive surgery. There will be a focus on the functional and aesthetic aspects of skeletal and soft tissue alterations. This will be accomplished through lectures given by a distinguished multidisciplinary Faculty with specific expertise.
The format will consist of lectures, case presentations and panel discussions in both morning and afternoon sessions. There will be two Free Paper presentations in each session, and Focused Workshops Monday evening. The Symposium will have several parallel goals and objectives, including the presentation of recent advances in craniomaxillofacial surgical techniques regarding the mandible, midface, orbit, nose and skull base, management of gunshot wounds to the face, and imaging and biomaterials. However, the core theme will be on difficult problems in craniomaxillofacial surgery that continue to challenge even the most experienced surgeons.
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 practice.
Panel discussions will allow for participant exchange and case analysis. Focused Workshops will also increase the interaction between participants and faculty. Participants are required to bring difficult and interesting cases on a zip disk or CD for Monday's Focused Workshops.
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.
