According to the Lancet Commission, 5 billion people do not have access to safe, affordable surgical and anesthesia care when needed. The urgent need for surgical care in the world’s poorest regions is still widely unrecognized today. Many of these people need plastic and reconstructive surgery. To improve medical care in a long-lasting, durable way, new ways to deliver education and medical care should be found.

This symposium is for everybody that is interested in global health. It is organized by the Department of Plastic Surgery of the Amsterdam UMC and Interplast Holland, and gives an overview of current initiatives and developments how some of these barriers can be crossed.

The world of reconstructive microsurgery is ever-evolving and dynamic and many innovations have entered our daily practice. During this 1.5-hour webinar, a panel of international microsurgical experts will discuss and present information on using 3D planning technology in maxillary and mandibular surgery. Both resection and reconstruction in many practices are now aided by using 3D molds and saw guides.

During this three-hour webinar, a panel of international reconstructive experts will discuss and present alternative solutions in head and neck reconstructions and share experiences on procedures plastic surgeons do not routinely do.
