This course focuses on skin cancer surgery relating to advancement flaps part 2. Flaps require loose surrounding tissue to be successful. Participants will learn about the principles, classification and types of skin flap surgery. Advancement flaps included are the ellipse, S-plasty, A-L, A-T, single and double advancement, modified H-flap and the A-A-Z flap. These flaps are covered in detail including detailed schematics to assist with understanding the concepts. Each version of the advancement flap includes guides for RSTL supported by clinical images showing surgical planning for advancement flaps on the face. Recordings of planning and performing advancement flaps in both the clinical setting and on pork parts are included.

This course focuses on skin cancer surgery relating to rotation flaps. Participants will learn about scalp defect closures and how to plan rotation flaps. Included are images that describe the mathematic planning of rotation flaps including the size of the flap arc. Clinical case examples are presented outlining surgery planning and after surgery pictures to demonstrate best practice for both the surgery and aesthetic outcomes. The traditional rotation and the O-Z flaps are described in detail. Anatomical positions suitable for the rotation flap including the scalp, medial and lateral cheek, pre-auricular, temple and chin are included. This course concludes with recordings of planning and performing rotation flaps in both the clinical setting and on pork parts.

This course focuses on skin cancer surgery relating to grafts. The course begins with detail about defects, resting skin tension lines (RSTL) and excision. It then summarisies the full thickness (FTSG) and split skin (SSG) graft and the considerations to using these grafts for skin cancer surgery. Graft revasculation is covered. Graft recipient and donor sites are outlined including visual images to demonstrate suitable areas. Selection of sites is critical to maximising successful outcomes. The course teaches techniques and wound care of both the donor and recipient sites and describes how and why grafts can be compromised. Clinical images of surgical planning for grafts are included. The halo variant of the split skin graft is featured including the technique, advantages, graphics and clinical images. Recordings of defatting and the planning and performing advancement flaps in both the clinical setting and on pork parts are included.

This course focuses on skin cancer surgery relating to rhomboid flaps part 2. Participants will learn about rhomboid flaps and opens with the Limburg flap - the easiest of the rhombic flaps. It describes how to identify the defect then planning the surgery from the defect. There are only four flap variants of the rhomboid flap and choices of design become apparent when planning is based from the donor site to maximise the success of the surgery. Images of planning and designing a flap and the mathematics that support various rhomboid flaps are featured. Clinical images are featured to support the teaching and recordings in both the clinical setting and on pork parts are included.
