COURSE PRESENTATION
This course will be organized in a partnership between the Orbit Unit of the CUF Descobertas Hospital (which includes specialists in Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology, Neurosurgery, Maxillofacial Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Neuroradiology), and the Department of Anatomy of the Nova Medical School/Faculty of Medical Sciences.
It was structured in order to provide a systematic and practical knowledge of the main surgical techniques used in this area. Particular emphasis will be given to the methods and criteria to guide clinical thinking and indication of each technique, as well as practical recommendations to avoid complications.
The course will last one day; the first part will be dedicated to theoretical presentations about the most used surgical approaches. The second period will be fully occupied by the hands-on application of different techniques on cadavers. The tutorial teaching will include a brief review of each procedure, followed by its execution on a cadaver.
The purpose of the course is to provide a systematic and practical knowledge of surgical anatomy of the orbit, as well as to optimize the learning of the most used surgical techniques using cadavers, where all participants can practice the procedures under the guidance of experienced tutors.
