SUMMARY:Advanced Hands-On Course on Surgical Tumor Ablation
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE CONFERENCE\nAblation and resection technologies are c
 ontinuouslyevolving\, with the emergence of new technologiesthat enable mo
 re effective and efficient tumordestruction. Currently\, surgeons face man
 y optionsto choose from. Furthermore\, each technology anddevice utilize d
 ifferent ablation algorithms andrequire different principles for needle pl
 acement.Also\, new devices are being introduced to the liverresection proc
 edures.This 1-day course is an opportunity for an update inthese technolog
 ies\, with a strong emphasis onprocedural details and a hands on lab to be
  able tomaster these techniques. At the end of the course\,the participant
 s are expected to learn theseprocedures and introduce them to their practi
 ce.\nTARGET AUDIENCE\nGeneral surgeons\, surgical oncologists\, HPB surgeo
 ns\,liver transplant surgeons\,\, fellows in training.\nLEARNING OBJECTIVE
 S\nUpon completion of this activity\, the participants willbe able to:\n-U
 nderstand the differences between different ablation technologies\n-Acquir
 e the basic skills to perform radiofrequencyablation\, microwave ablation\
 , and histotripsy\n-Acquire an understanding of the detailed surgicalsteps
  of laparoscopic and open hepatic tumorablation and laparoscopic tumor abl
 ation
