W004 Hands-on: Wound Closures
DESCRIPTION
This session is geared toward beginner and intermediate levels. It offers small group, hands-on experience practicing a variety of wound closure techniques, with faculty engaged in teaching at each table. Relevant anatomy and the fundamentals of wound closures will be discussed in brief didactic format. Complex layered linear repairs and local flaps including all types of advancement, rotation, and transposition flaps will be reviewed. Participants will then have opportunity for realistic hands-on practice with cadaveric arms and heads. Anatomic considerations, suture technique pearls, and safe techniques for optimizing outcome and minimizing complications will be emphasized.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Recognize anatomic considerations of wound closures on the head and neck to optimize outcomes and avoid complications.
Identify design and execution pearls and pitfalls for linear closures and advancement, rotation, and transposition flaps.
Describe technical pearls for optimizing surgical outcomes.
