Dissection Laboratory – 7:30am-4:30pm
The dissection workshop focuses on anatomic and surgical pearls of core
orbital surgical procedures such as medial and lateral orbital
decompression, endoscopic orbital and optic canal decompression, orbital
floor fracture surgery, and transcranial approaches to the orbital apex . 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 so that each participant can perform the
procedures on cadavers, with faculty guidance.

RPB Auditorium, 7:30am – 5:00pm
The second day of the course will be didactic covering orbital anatomy and
the nuances of orbital surgery. This course brings together innovative
experts in orbital surgery to share their experiences, techniques, and
pearls. A range of talks will be given covering trauma and reconstruction,
vascular tumors, orbital tumors, and thyroid eye disease.
Course participants unable to attend the first day of the course are
welcome for the second day.
