Course Description:

This intermediate course is designed for general surgeons and breast surgeons who understand beginner level oncoplastic surgery, and who want to learn more advanced oncoplastic surgical techniques. The morning lectures will provide information on intermediate level strategies and techniques for delivering oncoplastic breast care related to breast conservation.
The afternoon will provide a hands-on surgical cadaver skills lab including a mastotrainer section for supervised practice of procedures taught in the morning lectures. Attendees will be assigned to stations to practice skin markings and intermediate oncoplastic surgical techniques. Attendees will be provided with required reading material prior to the course.

Course Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
  • Comfortably apply common volume displacement and replacment oncoplastic techniques and strategies in their practice by ways of understanding when to perform intermediate oncoplastic surgery or collaborate with a plastic surgeon when performing oncoplastic surgery
  • Select the most appropriate oncoplastic procedures for individual patients
  • Gain knowledge about the possible complications when performing oncoplastic surgical techniques.

Cadaver Lab Preliminary Agenda:

Each attendee will be assigned to a station, led by a workshop faculty member, to perform all of the following procedures:
  • Superomedial and inferior pedicle development
  • Skin markings and quadrant by quadrant decision making for type of volume displacement pedicle and skin marking use
  • Wise and vertical skin incision design with glandular tissue elevation
  • De-epithelialization
  • Basic description of some volume replacement flaps

CME Information:

The American Society of Breast Surgeons designates this live activity for a maximum of 8.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
