This lecture outlines a framework for managing head and neck ballistic injuries, emphasising challenges in maxillofacial and reconstructive surgery. It focuses on evidence-based approaches to avulsive and non-avulsive injuries, highlighting both vascularised and non-vascularised reconstruction techniques for effective management.
Aims
- To equip trainees with a comprehensive understanding of ballistic injury mechanisms in the head and neck.
- To explore evidence-based surgical techniques for managing avulsive and non-avulsive injuries.
- To emphasise the role of vascularised and non-vascularised reconstruction in restoring functionality and aesthetics.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, attendees should be able to:
- Identify key imaging findings and initial management steps in ballistic injuries.
- Differentiate between avulsive and non-avulsive injury patterns and their implications for treatment.
- Apply principles of vascularized and non-vascularized reconstruction in planning definitive management.
- Understand the integration of airway, hemorrhage, and tissue reconstruction priorities in complex trauma.
