Advanced Surgery Rounds

March 27, 2014

Target Audience: Fully-trained, Post-Fellowship Vitreoretinal Surgeons

Course Description: ASR will be a hybrid course integrating both panel discussion and wetlab participation. Each participant along with a panel of Duke VR faculty will teach each other through sharing of tips, pearls, and approaches to basic and complex surgical manipulations which will be practiced in a hands-on setting at surgical stations. There will be the unique opportunity to directly compare microscopes, visualization systems (including endoscopic visualization), vitrectomy machines, forceps, laser probes, subretinal needles, and a range of other tools across manufacturers. This course will augment a fully-trained surgeon’s surgical approach, transfer complex surgical skills, and expose surgeons to a range of instrumentation to improve their selection for the task at hand.
