Facial osteotomies unveiled: Hands-on 3D skull workshop for OSA management
Details about the course
The Facial Osteotomies Unveiled workshop provides an immersive hands-on experience for clinicians focused on managing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) through advanced surgical techniques. Utilizing 3D-printed skull models, participants will explore the anatomical considerations crucial for facial osteotomies, including maxillary advancement and mandibular repositioning. The workshop begins with a comprehensive overview of the role of facial osteotomies in OSA management, discussing how facial morphology affects airway dynamics and patient outcomes. Participants will engage in practical exercises on 3D skull models, allowing them to simulate and practice essential surgical techniques. This hands-on approach enhances their understanding of incision placements, osteotomy execution, and fixation methods, all while visualizing bone movements. Expert faculty will guide attendees through demonstrations of specific procedures and facilitate interactive case discussions that highlight clinical decision-making based on individual patient needs. By the end of the workshop, participants will gain practical skills and confidence in performing facial osteotomies for OSA, ultimately improving their ability to provide effective treatment solutions. This collaborative learning environment ensures that clinicians leave with the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance patient care in obstructive sleep apnea management.
