W003 Hands-on: Nail Surgery
DESCRIPTION
Tuition fee and ticket required for admission
This session is geared toward all levels of nail surgeons, from beginner and intermediate to advanced levels. In a small group hands-on setting, participants will be instructed on how to avulse the nail in several fashions (partial and complete), perform multiple different nail procedures (including punch, shave, longitudinal techniques), and for those with more advanced background, treat nail melanoma with en bloc excision of all nail tissues and perform nail flaps. Fresh frozen cadaveric hands that allow for realistic hands-on practice will be utilized. Approaches to patient assessment, including surgical planning, equipment/suture selection, patient safety, and relevant anatomy will be covered. This activity has been approved by the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) for up to 30 Continuous Certification Program (CCP) Component 2 Self-Assessment points.
