Course concept
Welcome to the Expert Meeting on Laser Application in Thoracic Surgery – open Approach and VATS!
Are you a thoracic surgeon interested in laser technology and wish to learn more about an innovative and cost-effective technique for resectioning metastases? Then our expert meeting on laser application in thoracic surgery – open approach and VATS is the right course for you!
What can you expect from our Expert Meeting?
Optimal patient treatment deserves optimal technical equipment. This statement is especially true in patients with lung metastases. In every one of these patients, we encounter a different situation. The various situations range from simple wedge resections to complex resections in cases of multiple metastases or metastases in the vicinity of the lung's central vascular and bronchial structures. By introducing a new generation of surgical laser systems with a wavelength of 1,320 nm, we now have an optimal instrument that allows dissecting the lung parenchyma in a superior approach.
Furthermore, this laser is also applicable for endotracheal and endobronchial problems. It is an effective tool that is suited for numerous clinical applications.
Our workshop aims to demonstrate the usefulness of laser technology for pulmonary diseases. In the first part, we will have an introduction to laser technology and the different aspects of pulmonary metastasectomy. In the second part, all participants will have the opportunity to work in the wet-lab with laser equipment.
