After completion of the conference, attendees will be familiar with indications, contraindications and operative performance of the most complex procedures in the specialty. Only those procedures that commonly pose technical challenges, or arise infrequently, have been selected for inclusion. Each presentation is focused on how the procedure is done by the expert presenter.
Emphasis is on technical tips and pitfalls.
Presentations also cover when the procedure should be done, avoided, and what short and long term results can be expected. This course relies upon tightly edited surgical video brought by the presenter, thus optimizing the audience's efficiency of learning. All presentations include a powerpoint slide lecture from the expert, and those which also include additional video highlights of the surgical technique are noted by the following symbol . HealthInfo Corp was onsite at the conference to capture these presentations on film, and through support provided by Edwards Lifesciences, the videos are now available to be streamed on the Internet.
