Course Directors: Hinni, Michael L., M.D., Haughey, Bruce H., M.B.Ch.B., M.S., F.A.C.S., F.R.A.C.S.
Transoral Surgery for Head and Neck Cancer is designed to give Otolaryngologists, Head and Neck Surgeons, Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons, and Head and Neck Oncologists a focused educational experience in transoral endoscopic techniques for resecting primary head and neck tumors. Both transoral laser and robotic surgery will be featured, as well as flexible laser surgery in inpatient and outpatient environments.
An optional cadaveric hands-on workshop will provide participants with opportunities to perform various transoral procedures with laser technologies and delivery systems. Renowned faculty will emphasize fundamental transoral anatomy, microsurgical and robotic techniques, and wound exposure, as well as other transoral techniques. Workshop participants will gain experience in the art of tumor exposure using various retractors and appropriate and safe use of multiple transoral systems.
We hope you will join us for this exciting program that can ultimately result in better outcomes and quality of life for many of your patients.
