UCLA Orbital Center Master’s Symposium & Dissection Workshop
In-Person Event
Feb 23 - 24, 2018
Los Angeles, California, USASpeakers
OVERVIEW
UCLA Orbital Center Master’s Symposium & Dissection Workshop is organized by David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and will be held during Feb 23 - 24, 2018 at Jules Stein Eye Institute, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is ophthalmologists and orbital surgeons. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 15.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description:
The Orbital Surgery course is a tightly focused program of techniques and concepts related to orbital disease and its management. The multidisciplinary faculty, renown experts in their fields, focus on practical techniques and conceptual pearls designed to send participants home with tools and knowledge that they can immediately apply to their own practice.
The dissection workshop focuses on anatomic and surgical pearls of core orbital surgery including decompression techniques, approaches to the optic nerve, the orbital apex and cavernous sinus, orbital trauma and advanced endonasal surgery. The various procedures will be reviewed in step-by-step fashion, utilizing a detailed dissection manual, bullet point surgical videos, and prosections by faculty experts. A limited enrollment will promote close interaction between participants and faculty.
The second day of the course will include didactic sessions covering modern understanding of orbital disease and advanced techniques for management. The faculty consists of experts in the area of orbital disease and treatment who will share their knowledge and experience with participants. A range of high yield topics will be covered including orbital trauma, vascular lesions, tumors, inflammatory disease and thyroid-related orbitopathy. Complex cases presented by participants will be discussed by expert panel members in an interactive manner. Individuals unable to participate in the first day dissection course will be welcome to attend.
Course Objectives:
At the conclusion of the program participants will be able to:
• Recognize key anatomic landmarks in the orbit.
• Approach orbital lesions from an array of incisions including: transconjunctival, transcaruncular, lateral eyelid crease and medial eyelid crease.
• Identify the principles of management for inflammatory, neoplastic and vascular lesions in the orbit.
• Utilize safe techniques in orbital surgery.
• Implement new techniques for the medical and surgical management of orbital disease.
Day 1: Dissection Workshop Laboratory
Venue : Center for Health Sciences 53-129 CHS - UCLA
Day 2: Didactic and Interactive Sessions
Venue : UCLA Stein Eye Institute, RPB Auditorium
