BBASS talks through a dissection and explains how and when to the scalpel and the scissors to develop tissue plane and expose vessels. The techniques and principles of identifying and exposing vessels will be explained. The focus will include the use of the forceps for retraction, probing and dissection. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Summary

This teaching session is designed to help medical professionals better understand their role in dissecting and analyzing organs and body tissues. Through interactive activities and simulations, participants will be able to explore the fundamentals of operating on the body, understand how different types of tissue interact and learn how to utilize the scalpel and scissors, with appropriate forceps retraction, for precise dissection. Attendees will gain a comprehensive overview of dissecting techniques and develop the skills needed to effectively perform procedures on a wide range of specimens.

Learning objectives
