Synopsis

Vascular Composite Allotransplantation (VCA) has opened up a new era in facial reconstruction. This symposium brings together clinical and research experts in the field of facial allotransplantation with emphasis on three major challenges: surgery, immunology, and psychology. The symposium will consider the current state-of-the-art facial VCA and introduce the role of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon in this multidisciplinary team approach to restore facial esthetics and function in the severely disfigured patient.

Learning Objectives
