This course focuses on skin cancer surgery relating to neurovascular island flaps. The Bezier and keystone neurovascular island flaps come with blood supply so are not generally undermined and are cut all around the defect. These flaps are usually applied to the lower legs. When preparing for skin cancer surgery, patient history and circumstances are to be considered. Neuropathies of the nerves and compartments of the leg are described. Blood supply to the planned flap must be ensured and infrared cameras assist with this. Diagrams of how to mark out the Bezier and keystone flap including clinical cases and practical demonstrations assist learning. Advantages and disadvantages of these flaps are outlined. Recordings of planning and performing these flaps in both the clinical setting and on pork parts are included.

In this course, participants will learn about the bilobed flap, commonly used for reconstruction of nasal tip lesions by utilising the lateral nose and medial cheek. It may also be used for ear and cheek lesions. Nasal subunit images and guides to planning the flap repair are listed. The nasolabial angle determines the rotation of the nose and diagrams explain the angles. Diagrams and schematics demonstrate the planning of the bilobed flap including the related mathematics. The bilobed flap typically rotates from a lateral pivot point for side wall and nasal tip defects. The nasal muscles, skin thickness, blood supply and the trigeminal nerve must all be considered with this flap. Recordings of planning and performing bilobed flaps in both the clinical setting and on pork parts concludes this course.

This course focuses on skin cancer surgery relating to banner and rhomboid flaps. Participants will learn about these flaps and their application to skin lesion repair to the lip, nose and ear. These flaps are also versatile and can be used anywhere on the body to preserve tissue and move adjacent spare tissue to the excision area. Diagrams outline the standard rhomboid flap including skin tension lines. The rhomboid flap marking out is from the defect outwards. Transposition flaps are similar to rhomboid in that it rotates about a pivot point however it differs in its design. Cosmetic subunits of the face, lips and chin and mathematical diagrams are included. Clinical images and recordings of planning and performing rhomboid flaps in the clinical setting are included in this course.

This course focuses on skin cancer surgery relating to V-Y Flaps. The V-Y flap is a neurovascular island flap with 3600 excision, no undermining and uses blood supply from underneath the wound area. The V-Y is useful on the nose, especially the side wall of the nose. Muscles of the nose are detailed. Flaps are generally preferable to skin grafts because they have a better colour and contour match and heal faster. Drawings of the V-Y flap demonstrate its application. Variants of the V-Y are described including the horn flap, with clinical images demonstrating the planning and post-operative success. Recordings of the planning and performing V-Y flaps in both the clinical setting and on pork parts are included.

This course focuses on skin cancer surgery relating to lip wedges. This course begins with a revision of the lip anatomy, blood, nerve and muscle supplies, as understanding these are essential when planning lip wedges. Fundamental principles of lip wedge excision are explained including how to prevent microstomia. Information on the Abbe lip switch, the Estlander flap and Gillies/Karapandzic flaps are explained. Schematic diagrams and clinical images are provided to demonstrate best practice planning techniques. Recordings in both the clinical setting and on pork parts are included.

This course focuses on skin cancer surgery relating to periorbital defects. Participants will learn the planning behind how to remove lesions on the eyelids. Planning procedures in this sensitive area requires a considered approach. The subunits and eye anatomy are explained in addition to listing the essential principles and practical tips for lower eyelid surgery. Comprehensive information for planning ellipses or flaps is included. The course then looks at when to use either the full thickness and split skin grafts and graft planning techniques including information on the donor and recipient sites. Recordings in the clinical setting are included.

This course focuses on the tips and tricks relating to skin cancer surgery. where possible, skin cancer surgery procedures should remain in the same or adjacent subunits to maximise the best cosmetic healing. The course stresses the importance of patient history and how some patient conditions may impact skin cancer surgery outcomes. How to set the ambience to relax both the doctor and patient and the importance of keeping comprehensive patient records are included. Local anaesthetic, syringes/needle size and scar care and type of sutures for different wounds are mentioned. Planning skin cancer surgery on dual lesions, rhomboid, flaps and grafts are also summarised. Anticoagulation issues and points of skin cancer surgery wisdom are listed. Options for suture techniques on the chest, upper and lower limbs, and the abdomen are demonstrated. Mesh dressings for wound protection including the pros and cons are detailed. Procedural options on the face are also discussed.

This course focuses on the application of dermoscopy for suspicious skin lesions. Participants will learn about the epidemiology of nevi and melanoma in children. The course discusses the appropriate steps to take when conducting skin screening on young children and then discusses the difference in pre-pubertal and post-pubertal children, in terms of total nevus count, type of nevi and melanoma risk. Dermoscopic images are used throughout the presentation to discuss the different melanocytic lesions found in children. The course also outlines the dermoscopic clues and patterns to assist in diagnosing problematic lesions in children.

This course focuses on the application of dermoscopy for suspicious skin lesions. Participants will learn about the epidemiology of tumours that differs according to age. This course focuses on the diagnostic strategies to use when screening young adults - individuals after puberty up to the age of fifty. It outlines effective screening techniques to determine whether to excise skin lesions in young adults. Dermoscopic images are used throughout the presentation to explain the different characteristics of lesions seen at birth, through to young adults and to elderly individuals. The course also explains the different morphologic types of nevi, tumours commonly found in young adults and how to manage and identify suspicious skin lesions.

This course focuses on the application of dermoscopy for suspicious skin lesions. Participants will learn to identify the problematic lesions commonly found in elderly patients - individuals aged sixty or older. Screening should be promoted including scalp lesions as they are more common in this age group. Common melanocytic skin lesions including detection and management options are outlined. It discusses the steps when screening elderly patients with pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions, including melanocytic and non-melanocytic neoplasms. The course explains the use of specific dermoscopic clues and patterns to diagnose melanoma in its early stages while also recognising the myriad of benign lesions.
