About
This workshop also features demonstrations by expert faculty utilising the latest 3D visualisation technology across a range of microsurgical procedures.

The sessions are fully interactive with a high ratio of faculty to participants. Knowledgeable faculty will provide superior training and immediate feedback in a practical and controlled workshop environment. Limited Observer positions are available.
