MASTERS OF HEAD & NECK SURGERY

  • OVERVIEW

    The practice of “Good Head and Neck Surgery” is at a variance in many parts of the world. Standardization of good surgical technique throughout the world, adhering to the principles of Surgical Oncology is crucial. With that focus, IFHNOS introduces a New Program of, “Master Courses in Operative Techniques in the Head and Neck Surgery”. These hands on courses with Live surgery, cadaver dissections, and didactic presentations, with sequential operative steps and videos, of proper operative techniques will be given by Global experts - Master Surgeons - in a 3 day program in any part of the world. The focus of this program would be on proper oncologic, safe and clean surgical techniques, their indications, pearls and pitfalls, and complications etc. The procedures most commonly shown would be neck dissection, thyroid surgery, parotid surgery, and other demonstrable surgical procedures in the head and neck for live surgery, and all types of procedures in cadaver dissections. The afternoon sessions would be didactic talks or videos, and the mornings would be live surgery. Exposing head and neck surgery trainees and ‘eager young specialists’, to good techniques in Head and Neck Surgery, and sharing experiences and wisdom of world leaders and established teachers of head and neck surgery, will have a huge impact in uplifting head and neck cancer care and on the patients they serve.

    The list of well known leaders and Professors of Head and Neck Surgery from around the world, who have volunteered to participate in this program is shown here.

    If you are interested to organize such a program in your region / country, select any two experts from the list, who you would like to invite, and send your letter of intent to info@ifhnos.net.

    Further details of organization, dates, etc. will be coordinated by the IFHNOS office.
