Aim and Content of the Course
As it is well known that the success of demanding surgical procedures like tumour resection and primary reconstruction using microvascular fl aps depends not only on individual skills but also on a reasonable holistic treatment concept, we offer the missing link between separate procedures and comprehensively teach how to perform and organize complex oncological operations step-by-step. The focus of this course lies with practical exercise under realistic conditions. It is designed for surgeons who already have basic experience in microsurgical reconstruction and oncologic procedures and want to perform this independently under professional guidance. Uniquely, we aim to simulate as much as possible the logistics of 2 team operating and the interpersonal choreography involved in managing the surgeon and team during lengthy days of multi-site surgery of differing duration occurring near simultaneously.
