Reconstructive Showdown 2021 (AMW) Session
2021 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
Come join us for the 2021 Reconstructive Showdown! Here we will debate the best reconstructive techniques for common cutaneous, mucosal, soft tissue, and traumatic defects. Cases will be presented in entertaining debate-style format by our expert reconstructive surgeons. The audience will ultimately decide which presenter is most convincing through audience polling. Participants will leave able to recognize which local, regional, or free flap works best for a variety of common facial, parotidectomy, and oral cavity defects. Additional perspective will be provided on what criteria should be used to drive intraoperative decision-making. New this year will be a greater focus on best techniques to manage and indeed mitigate perioperative complications in reconstructive surgery. With panelists of diverse backgrounds and training, our session will provide insight into the various approaches to these reconstructive challenges and how to plan appropriately to optimize the chance of long-term success. Join us for this lively discussion to learn from our team and share your experience as well.
Description
Learning Objective: 1. Compare and contrast various local and regional flap options for common cutaneous, mucosal and soft tissue defects. 2. Recognize when free tissue transfer/advanced reconstructive care may be necessary for more extensive head and neck defects, both from malignancy and secondary to trauma. 3. Manage early and late perioperative complications of common cutaneous and mucosal reconstructions.
