Flap-Off: The Reconstruction Bowl - What Would You Do When the Going Gets Tough? Friday, October 10 Fri, Oct 10 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. CDT
A high-energy, interactive panel showcasing the art and science of complex reconstructive plastic surgery through friendly competition. Teams of distinguished experts will analyze challenging reconstructive cases, with one team presenting their preferred solution followed by the second team offering an alternative approach. After each case presentation and debate, audience members will vote for the most compelling reconstructive strategy, and winning teams advance to the chanpionship round. This dynamic format highlights the critical thinking, technical creativity, and multiple pathways that exist in modern reconstructive surgery while providing practical insights for surgeons at all career stages.
Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:
- Identify multiple viable reconstructive options for complex surgical defects
- Compare the advantages and limitations of different flap techniques for challenging cases
- Evaluate critical decision points that influence reconstructive planning
- Apply evidence-based principles to assess reconstructive outcomes
- Implement alternative approaches when primary reconstructive plans encounter complications
