Speciality skills in LD flap breast reconstruction and breast symmetrisation
Formerly known as Specialty Skills in Breast Surgery (Level 2), this course covers the principles of breast symmetrisation surgery, lipomodelling and Latissimus Dorsi Flap breast reconstruction.
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.
