Event recordings
38:37Back to basic or what we Didn`t know about Radiation Fibrosis?
A back-to-basics look at radiation fibrosis: from inflammation and TGF-β signaling to fibroblast activation, extracellular matrix accumulation, hypoxia, and impaired matrix turnover. The lecture also explores how changes in radiotherapy fractionation may influence late tissue damage.
56:27Airway Management in Head and Neck Reconstruction
A practical lecture on perioperative airway strategy in head and neck reconstruction: difficult intubation, planned tracheostomy, decannulation, tube selection, and safe extubation.
63:36Post-Traumatic Lymphedema - Comprehensive Approach and Microsurgical Treatment
How reconstructive surgery can restore not only soft tissue, but also lymphatic flow after limb trauma.
46:23“When a Scalpel Is Not Enough: The Role of Lasers in Modern Plastic Surgery” Can lasers change the outcome when repeat surgery is no longer the best option?
How laser therapy can be used to modify scar texture, pigmentation and vascular components, and why treatment should begin with identifying the right tissue target rather than choosing a laser first.
63:30Computer-Assisted Head and Neck Surgery: Principles, Techniques and Clinical Outcome
A case-driven lecture on computer-assisted head and neck surgery, from virtual planning and 3D-printed guides to intraoperative navigation, craniofacial reconstruction and immediate functional rehabilitation. Computer-assisted surgery is presented here not as a single piece of technology, but as a complete clinical workflow: 3D imaging and segmentation, virtual surgical planning, transfer of the plan with printed models or cutting guides, intraoperative navigation, and postoperative imaging for feedback and refinement.
75:25Primary Reconstruction of Open Hand Injuries in Children: Principles and Tactics
A practical lecture on primary reconstruction of pediatric hand injuries, with a focus on local and regional flaps, preservation of finger length and function, and strategies to reduce contracture risk.
89:40Wide Awake Plastic Surgery: Principles, Indications, Limitations and Future Directions
Dr. Don Lalonde challenges traditional assumptions about anesthesia and operating-room sterility, showing how WALANT can make a wide range of procedures simpler, safer, and more accessible.Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Committee
