This meeting highlights current and emerging uses for robotics in plastic surgery and collaborative specialties. Through hands-on training and expert panel discussions, attendees will learn cutting edge robotic techniques, develop skills to build robotic surgical programs, enhance multi-disciplinary collaborations and integrate related technologies in their practice workflow.

Two registration options available – in-person registration, which includes lectures and a cadaver/skills lab session, or live stream of lectures only.

Sessions include:

• Innovation, Venture, Regulation and Economics in Robotics
• Credentialing and Training
• Robotic Assisted Breast Surgery and Reconstruction
• Pearls from Allied Services
• Novel Applications of Robotic Reconstruction – Head to Toe
• AI & Emerging Technologies
• Robotic Supermicrosurgery- Applications and Innovations
• Cadaver Lab and Skills Training (in-person only)

By attending, you will be able to:

• Discuss the use of robotics in plastic surgery, including robotic mastectomy and abdominal wall reconstruction; troubleshoot challenges in robotic surgery, and select the best robotic surgical candidates.
• Formulate plans for learning robotic techniques, credentialing in robotic surgery, and attaining hospital privileges for robotic surgery.
• Review pertinent surgical anatomy for robotic abdominally based flap harvesting and abdominal wall reconstruction.
• Demonstrate surgical techniques, including how to raise abdominal wall flaps, dissect the deep inferior epigastric blood vessels, and perform robotic microvascular and super microsurgical anastomoses.
• Identify opportunities to collaborate with and incorporate techniques from allied surgical fields.
• Describe how image-guided surgery, advances surgical visualization (VR/MR) and artificial intelligence impacts surgical robotics.

Who Should Attend?

The Conference is targeted to plastic surgeons, surgeons from collaborative specialties, residents, fellows, and all healthcare professionals interested in the use of robotics in surgical procedures.
