Suitable for all grades or those wishing to explore a career in Plastic or Maxillofacial Surgery.

The focus of free flap surgery training so far has been micro-surgical skills. At Surgical-Art, we believe that flap dissection and tissue handling is an equally fundamental skill. In this course we give equal importance to both these skills, hence providing a more comprehensive exposure for participants.

The flap dissection component and the porcine models used are exclusive to Surgical-Art. Participants will be introduced to basic to advanced tissue handling skills to identify, preserve and dissect the perforator/neuro-vascular pedicle of a flap. Following this design and flap raising will be taught and practiced.

The microsurgical training will involve introduction to microsurgical skills, end to end and end to side artery/vein anastomosis, dealing with mismatched vessels, vein grafts and venous couplers.
