This workshop is a training module for ENT, maxillofacial surgeons and head neck
surgeons on the optimal use of
powered saws in Oral Cancer surgeries. The use of powered instruments like the
Stryker TPX system helps in precision
and control during important surgeries like mandibulectomy, maxillectomy etc.
The hands-on demonstration will help the novice surgeons use the powered instruments
to place proper osteotomies on
model tissues like the skull bone, maxilla and mandible under expert guidance.
Interested participants can register for any of the 2 batches—a maximum of 15
participants per batch will be
allowed. The Stryker TPX system will be available at five stations. A maximum of 3
participants will be allocated a
designated station.
Why TPX ? The Stryker TPX system offers numerous benefits for segmental and marginal mandibulectomy procedures, ensuring precision, control, and versatility in these delicate operations. The micro drill and oscillating saw attachments within the TPX system are highly effective for the careful resection of small bone fragments, while the sagittal saw allows for efficient resection of bone while maintaining clean, controlled cuts that minimize tissue damage. The TPX’s hardened stainless steel jaws and innovative grip design improve tool longevity and performance over multiple uses, essential in high-volume centers
1. Hands-on Surgical Training on models : Practical experience in performing
maxillectomies segmental and marginal
mandibulectomies, enabling surgeons to refine their bone resection techniques for
better precision and outcomes.
2. Enhanced Surgical Skill Set : Exposure to advanced methods for managing complex
mandibular resections, leading to
improved control and reduced risk of complications such as nerve damage or excessive
bone loss.
3. Medical Efficiency : Learn techniques to minimize operating time while improving
surgical precision, contributing
to faster patient recovery and reduced postoperative complications.
4. Improved Patient Outcomes : Gain insights into how to achieve better cosmetic and
functional results, particularly
in preserving mandibular structure and alignment during resections.
5. Collaborative Learning : Network with peers to exchange case studies and
experiences, enhancing knowledge on how
to handle diverse and challenging surgical scenarios.
6. Continuing Medical Education : Participation in the workshop contributes to
professional growth; ensuring surgeons
stay current with best practices and medical advancements in head and neck surgery.
The Vascular Anastomosis Training Workshop is targeted at head and neck surgeons & surgical trainees interested in expanding their knowledge & skills of vascular surgery relevant to clinical situations. The course will be a combination of interactive operative video sessions and intensive hands-on training in vascular anastomotic techniques. This course can be considered as a first step for training in vascular surgery and at the completion of the course one should have a fair idea in various techniques in vascular surgeries relevant to head and neck region.
1. Techniques in Vascular Suturing
Explore the best practices and advanced techniques for vascular suturing, with a
focus on precision and minimizing
complications.
2. Intraoperative Management of IJV (Internal Jugular Vein) Injuries
Delve into strategies to manage IJV injuries in a variety of surgical scenarios,
3. Handling Carotid Artery Injuries
Understand the complexities of carotid artery injuries and gain confidence in
managing them intraoperatively to
reduce risks and improve patient outcomes.
4. Role and Utility of Vascular Grafts
Learn about the application of vascular grafts in surgery, including when and how to
use them effectively for
arterial and venous reconstruction.
5. Postoperative Management in Head and Neck Surgery
A comprehensive guide to postoperative care specific to vascular complications in
head and neck surgeries, aimed at
reducing recovery times and improving patient prognosis.
Time : 1 Hour
Learn and practice both circumferential and partial rent repairs on arteries. This
session will cover techniques to handle arterial injuries with precision and
efficiency.
Time : 1 Hour
This practical session will focus on venous repair, including both circumferential
and partial rent techniques, helping you manage venous injuries in complex surgical
environments.
We take this opportunity to announce and welcome you to the 24th Annual conference of Foundation for Head Neck Oncology to be held from 18th - 20th October 2024, in Mumbai.
