Studies published in the Journal of Surgical Research and Academic Radiology found that pre-surgical planning using 3D-printed models can reduce operative time by 25-30%. This reduction translates to substantial cost savings, averaging $3,000 to $5,000 per surgery, while also significantly minimizing complications. Technology adoption and reimbursement are two major barriers for hospitals to include them in surgical practice. #3dprinting #surgery #surgicalplanning #anatomicalmodels

Kicking off another transformative All-On-X program! Today, we started the first clinical morning by reviewing the CBCT scans and treatment plans for the patients scheduled for the day. After an intensive day of didactic lectures, each surgeon will now perform between four and five full-arch All-On-X surgeries over the next three surgical days. Every surgeon is performing two surgeries per day, resulting in a total of 4-5 full arches per surgeon. What makes this program truly special is that we are able to provide these life-changing procedures at absolutely NO COST to the patients. 🙏🏻 Not only do our participants gain unparalleled hands-on surgical experience, but they also make a meaningful impact in the lives of these patients by performing their surgeries AND delivering their prosthetics - and giving them a new lease on life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ A great way to combine top-tier surgical training with a positive social impact. #AllOnX #DentalImplants #LiveSurgery #CBCTReview #HandsOnTraining #Prosthetics #PatientCare

This one is for all my followers working in healthcare communication and medical visualization. I discovered this remarkable free resource from Toronto General Hospital TVASurg (Toronto Video Atlas of Surgery) https://lnkd.in/e6T5kvSj it's donor funded, and they have a Patreon, so worth supporting if you can. Shoutout to the team there for the great and important work 🙏 Quick warning for the casually curious: the videos contain a mix of 3D animation and live video of surgical procedures to educate doctors and patients, so if seeing video of surgery makes you uncomfortable, you won't want to click the links. Do you know of any other great free video resources for healthcare education? If so, please drop them in the comments. I'd love to compile a list. #healthcarecommunication #medicalvisualization #3Danimation

A question for Cataract Surgeons: As you arrive to clinic and look at a full day's schedule (lets say that is 15+ cataract evaluations), do you have to mentally prepare yourself for the ~150 minutes of cataract education you'll be doing that day? Would you feel differently if you walked in to the lane for the first patient and saw a note like this waiting for you in your EMR (picture below)? When you can feel confident that your patient has received a consistent, comprehensive education you can save time in the lane while also benefiting from patients that are more likely to select a premium procedure that fits their lifestyle goals.

Webinar about left-hand technique 2024.11.19 at 2 PM CET This summer, we have released 16 brand new videos on GynZone, featuring suture training models and clinical cases with patients. In these videos, suturing is done with the left hand as the dominant one for inspiration for new as well as experienced clinicians. Join us for a 1-hour webinar where we will focus on: • Left-handed: Why is it difficult to learn from a right-handed operator? • Instruments designed for right-handed surgeons • Presentation of the new online course on GynZone

Fun Fact: The Evolution of Bioskills and Its Impact Over Time! 🦾 Did you know that bioskills training has revolutionized surgical education and patient care over the years? What started as simple anatomical dissections has evolved into advanced, hands-on training that equips surgeons with the skills they need to perform cutting-edge procedures. From early 20th-century cadaver labs to today's high-tech simulations, bioskills training has consistently improved surgical precision, reduced complication rates, and enhanced patient outcomes. It's a critical component of continuing education that empowers surgeons to stay at the forefront of medical innovation. As technology advances, so does the impact of bioskills—ensuring that the surgeons of tomorrow are better prepared than ever. And at the forefront of this evolution, the Association of Bioskills Laboratory Excellence (ABLE) is leading the way. ABLE is committed to setting the standard for bioskills training, driving innovation, and shaping the future of surgical education. The future of surgery is in good hands! #ABLE #Bioskills #SurgicalEducation #MedicalInnovation #BetterPatientOutcomes #ABLELeads

=> This month, we focus on the relevance of Lapco International Assessment to measure surgeons' 👩⚕️ performance and predict clinical outcomes. Evaluating surgeons' learning curves 📈 is crucial for optimising patient safety, effectively allocating resources, assessing training programs, and supporting surgeons' development. Understanding the learning curve ensures healthcare professionals verify that surgeons achieve proficiency before independently performing procedures. 👉 Click https://lnkd.in/ekQgvDdJ here to find out how Lapco performance assessment can predict clinical outcomes. Next month: "Design, Delivery, and Validation of a Trainer Curriculum for the National Laparoscopic Colorectal Training Program in England". About Lapco: Lapco International strives to advance modern surgery by challenging and evolving surgical training practices. Our courses elevate standards of training. Through digital tools, we track progress 🛤 and improve surgical performance. The aim is to shorten the learning curve and improve clinical outcomes.
