PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Come join us for the 2024 Reconstructive Showdown! Here we will debate reconstructive options for common cutaneous, mucosal, soft tissue, and traumatic defects. Cases will be presented in an entertaining debate-style format by our expert panel of reconstructive surgeons. Audience polling will be utilized to keep the panel interactive. Participants will leave able to recognize which local, regional, or free flap works best for a variety of common defects. Additional perspective will be provided on what criteria should be used to drive intraoperative decision-making as well as a focus on best techniques to manage perioperative complications in reconstructive surgery. With panelists of diverse backgrounds and training, our session will provide insight into the various approaches to these reconstructive challenges and how to plan appropriately to optimize the chance of long-term success. Join us for this lively discussion to learn from our team and share your experience as well.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Compare and contrast various local and regional flap options for common cutaneous, mucosal, and soft tissue defects.
  2. Recognize when free tissue transfer/advanced reconstructive care may be necessary for more extensive head and neck defects, from malignancy, trauma, to infection.
  3. Manage early and late perioperative complications of common cutaneous and mucosal reconstructions.
