The 15th London Head and Neck Dissection and Reconstructive Flap Course

Originally co-founded in 2006 by Mr Tunde Odutoye and Mr Asit Arora, the 15th London Head and Neck Dissection Course is an intensive course including instructional sessions, expert panel discussions, live surgery and supervised cadaver dissection (two delegates per cadaver) on the following techniques:

- Transoral

- Oropharyngectomy

- Thyroidectomy

- Parotidectomy

- Submandibular and Neck Dissection

- Laryngectomy

The major feature of this course is the investigation into the anatomy relevant to an array of head and neck surgical procedures to simulate real surgery. Technological advances have transformed head and neck surgery and for this reason the course will also feature:

- Robotic Surgery (TORS)

- Transoral Approaches to the Thyroid Gland

- Endoscopic Assisted Approach to the Thyroid Gland

- Radiofrequency

- Continuous Nerve Monitoring

- Latest Energy Devices

We are pleased to confirm that the course will now be extended over 5 days, making it our biggest and most ambitious course programme yet!
