Surgical Innovations and Advanced Techniques delves into critical aspects of skin cancer surgery, including:

Cosmetic Subunits and Planning:
Learn to align surgical procedures within cosmetic subunits to optimise healing and aesthetic outcomes. Understand the importance of maintaining symmetry and minimising scarring through strategic planning.

Advanced Suturing Techniques:
Explore the use of innovative sutures, including the barbed STRATAFIX sutures, designed for knotless, high-tension wound closures. Understand their application in various areas such as the chest, abdomen, and limbs, with emphasis on elderly patients or those with fragile skin.

Wound Closure and Management:
Discover the advantages of PRINEO mesh, a glue-impregnated dressing providing extra support in high-tension areas. Learn its benefits for sealing wounds, minimising complications, and enhancing patient recovery.

Flap and Graft Techniques:
Gain insights into effective defect closures using transposition flaps and grafts. Explore practical examples, including nasal and cheek reconstructions, with a focus on maintaining facial structure and symmetry.

Patient Safety and Record-Keeping:
Understand the critical role of comprehensive patient histories, photography, and detailed records in ensuring successful surgical outcomes. Learn to address unique challenges posed by anticoagulation and other patient-specific conditions.

Case Studies and Practical Application:
Review real-world cases demonstrating effective defect management and closure strategies. Learn how to assess complex lesions and decide on the best approach for repair.

Through evidence-based insights, practical demonstrations, and expert guidance, this course equips you with the skills and confidence to perform advanced skin cancer surgeries, ensuring superior patient outcomes. Join us to refine your expertise and deliver exceptional care in one of medicine’s most crucial fields.
