Laser Microsurgery Course

Participants will learn Transoral Laser Microsurgery (TLM) using the Lumenis UltraPulse DUO CO₂Laser with Digital AcuBlade Scanning Micromanipulator and FiberLase Flexible CO₂Laser Waveguide on human cadaveric specimens. By completion of this course, physicians will have the knowledge to safely perform surgery with the CO₂ laser fiber and scanning micromanipulator in a variety of surgical approaches.

This is a FREE 2-day, non-CME course devoted to the principles and practice of transoral endoscopic laser microsurgery. The course is mainly dissection orientated supplemented with lecture material. Dissection will be carried out on fresh head and neck specimens. Participants will be taught TLM for benign lesions as well as cancers of the glottic larynx, supraglottic larynx and hypopharynx using a variety of laryngoscopes and high powered microscopes. Transoral laser resection of tonsil and base of tongue cancers will be taught using the Lumenis flexible CO₂ laser fiber and a variety of retractors. The 2-day course will consist of half day lectures and half day hands-on cadaveric dissection on each day of the course. A live TLM surgery will be telecast during the course.
