Course Description:

This course is designed for general/breast surgeons who have completed and mastered Level I oncoplastic surgery training and techniques and are prepared for more advanced oncoplastic surgical techniques. The pre-recorded lectures will provide information on Level II strategies and techniques for delivering oncoplastic breast care and managing complications.

The hands-on Mastotrainer skills lab will provide attendees with the opportunity for supervised practice of procedures taught in the pre-recorded lectures. Attendees will be assigned to stations to practice skin markings and Level II oncoplastic surgical techniques. Attendees will be required to have reviewed the pre-recorded course material prior to the course. On site, each attendee will be assigned to a station, led by a workshop faculty member, to perform all of the following procedures:

  • Skin markings
  • Quadrant by quadrant decision making for type of volume displacement
  • Inferior pedicle development
  • Superior medial pedicle development
  • Wise and Vertical mammoplasty skin pattern
  • Flat closure

Course Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:

  • Comfortably apply common volume displacement and replacement oncoplastic techniques and strategies in their practice by ways of understanding when to perform Level II oncoplastic surgery or collaborate with a plastic surgeon when performing oncoplastic surgery
  • Select the most appropriate oncoplastic procedures for individual patients
  • Gain knowledge about avoidance, early recognition, and repair of complications of oncoplastic surgical techniques
