"Face Transplant Program: Culture of Excellence and High-Performance Case Study"
Instructor: Eduardo D. Rodriguez, D.D.S.
Experience gained in the treatment of complex congenital and acquired facial deformity has provided a unique platform for advancing the field of facial reconstruction. Fundamental principles of aesthetic, craniofacial, and microsurgery have also blended to improve the quality of life for our patients. Additionally, innovative technologies including the combination of computer-assisted planning and intraoperative navigation has provided innovative solutions to previously unpredictable problems. The advance of medicine and dentistry has allowed facial transplantation to become a clinical reality; however, immunotherapy remains one of the leading obstacles to its widespread acceptance. The creation of a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary team provides the avenue for the restoration of human appearance and function for individuals with devastating composite facial disfigurement.
Course Objectives:
- Define the current state of facial reconstruction
- Describe the role and indications for facial transplantation
- Identify the requirements for creating a comprehensive and innovative facial transplant program
