Course Introduction
Because the incidence of skin cancer is increasing worldwide, and head and neck surgeons keep pushing the boundaries of oncologic surgery, reconstructive surgeons are increasingly faced with complex facial defects. During this intensive two-day course, experts from the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery will review all aspects of aesthetic facial reconstruction and share their treatment algorithms and surgical secrets. The practical sessions will be performed on fresh frozen cadavers with two participants per specimen. The course will cover the essential reconstructive options for the eyelids, cheek, perioral region, nose, and for the paralyzed face.
