Thoracic Masterclass: Chest Wall | Recorded at the AATS 105th Annual Meeting

 Course Description: The management of complex chest wall malignancy, both resection techniques and reconstruction techniques, evolves with the publication of clinical trials and development of technology.  This Course is designed to demonstrate a variety of diverse, complex, and infrequently performed chest wall resection and reconstruction procedures using video, debates, evidence-based algorithms, question and answer sessions, as well as group discussion.

This session includes the following presentations: 

  • Augmented Reality and 3D Reconstruction: Do They Really Help?
  • Minimally Invasive Chest Wall Surgery
  • Myocutaneous Free Flaps for Chest Wall Reconstruction - What a Thoracic Surgeon Needs to Know
  • Panel Discussion
  • Debate: Chest Wall Reconstruction - Rigid Coverage is Always Needed
  • Debate: Chest Wall Reconstruction - Rigid Coverage is Not Needed
  • Panel Discussion and Audience Voting

Learning Objectives

  1.  Learn the up to date staging and resection techniques performed by international experts as well as evidence based treatment strategies, across the spectrum of chest wall surgery, including multidisciplinary approaches to resection and reconstruction for chest wall malignancy.
  2. Participate in a discussion of how these treatment strategies may be used to promote adoption into one’s own practice.
