AO CMF North America presents this advanced course in computer-aided maxillofacial surgery. Lectures by distinguished world-renowned experts covering topics in congenital, post-trauma & oncologic reconstruction, intra-operative imaging, navigation, microvascular and orthognathic surgery will be presented.
After the lecture series, participants will complete 3 different surgical modules:
1) Post traumatic orbito-zygomatic reconstruction
2) Mandibular reconstruction (fibula free flap)
3) Orthognathic reconstruction
Participants will first perform a virtual reconstruction (pre-surgical plan) for each scenario. Then participants will move into the lab to complete the pre-planned surgical repair. The laboratory session will include access to intra-operative imaging tools (navigation and CT) which will give the participants real time feedback during the repair. Finally, the participants will be able to compare their pre-surgical virtual plan to the actual reconstruction.
Target Audience:
Enrollment is open to practicing surgeons, residents / senior residents, fellows in oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery, otolaryngology surgery, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and other surgical specialties.
