Overview

This cadaveric & skills based course is aimed at breast and plastic surgery trainees (ST6-8) as well as  consultant surgeons, associate specialists, trust surgeons, and those wishing to develop an interest in reconstructive breast surgery. 

A two-day course for surgeons looking to build confidence in breast reconstruction and symmetrisation techniques, including latissimus dorsi (LD) flap reconstruction and lipomodelling, alongside the principles of breast reduction, augmentation and symmetrisation.

Please note: Due to a lack of availability of human tissue, this course will not include a cadaveric dissection session on this occasion. The programme has been reshaped around expanded operative videos, workshops and live model sessions to ensure delegates still gain outstanding practical value.
