Description
Cardiothoracic Innovations Day
Endoscopic Spine Surgery:
Description
This one-day course delivers comprehensive training through lectures, wet lab sessions, live demos, and panel discussions on sternal closure techniques. Participants will explore innovations such as FiberTape® cerclage, sternal fragment management, and advanced imaging with the Synergy Vision™ system, while engaging in hands-on instruction in the ArthroLab.
Learning Outcomes
This course provides participants with an overview of relevant topics relating to sternal and thoracic closure and supporting measures such as scoping and orthobiology. Under the guidance of our experienced faculty, participants will familiarize themselves with the materials and instruments required for sternal closure and will be able to use them competently in daily clinical practice.
