Course of Dissection Anatomy of the Facial Massif
Dissection anatomy for facial aesthetics: Cadaver practical course and live injection
Course of Dissection Anatomy:
What is the Academy of Craniofacial Anatomy?
The Academy of Craniofacial Anatomy was established in May 2021 and, as a cultural association, aims at promoting the study and scientific research of the anatomy of facial massif through constant training in cadaver dissection, proposed by anatomists and surgeons with a considerable experience in the field of dissection of the craniofacial region, and scientific contributions in the form of online and paper publications together with online courses.
Who are you?
The Academy prides itself of an international teaching staff of anatomists and clinicians with a considerable experience in the field of anatomical dissection, and boasts a strong partnership with the professors of the Department of cranio-cervico-facial anatomy at Université René Descartes Paris 5, a historical reference center for anatomic dissection in Europe, and one of the most prestigious in the world.
We are honored to have as our honorary president Prof. Jean-François Gaudy, Full Professor of Anatomy at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the Université René Descartes Paris 5, Paris.
Your mission?
The purpose of the Academy is to offer a ONE-OF-A KIND training with an approach that must be first as an anatomist and then as a clinician; for this reason dissection anatomy courses are given first, followed by courses on the application of the surgical techniques, with diversified modules based on the level and the clinical needs of each participant.
Where can I follow your courses?
The courses will take place at an exclusive venue, i.e. at the Cadaver Lab of Trecchi Palace, a historical mansion of inestimable artistic and cultural value, built in 1496, situated in the historic centre of the city of Cremona.
What is the motto of your academy?
The motto of our academy is “we see ONLY what we know” and this really means that if we do not know an anatomic structure in detail, it will certainly be unlikely for us to prevent and manage the related complications.
Thanks to anatomical dissection, the muscular and neurovascular tissues of interest and their anatomical variability can be seen with own eyes, and this aspect is fundamental for the growth of a surgeon in order to learn how to manage and above all to prevent haemorrhage and neurosensorial complications.
What is meant by anatomical dissection?
The terms “anatomical dissection and “autopsy” should not be confused, they are not the same: while autopsy is performed by a pathologist in order to ascertain the cause/s of death, and therefore it is not necessarily conservative, anatomical dissection is a highly conservative practice performed by an anatomist and is based on the separation of the different planes and the visualization of three-dimensional relationships among individual structures.
In spite of the innovative, radiological examination and the continuous evolution of surgical techniques, the study of dissection anatomy remains central; surgeons believe that the direct experience on cadavers is irreplaceable and that anatomical dissection takes on a fundamental importance in the training of graduate students and updating of specialistis.
Why is anatomical dissection so important?
Anatomical dissection is the main teaching and learning instrument to get to know human body through direct experience, and it distinguishes itself from autopsy and surgical practice.
It was also defined by Dyer & Thorndike (2000) as “the universally recognized passage to become a physician.”
Indeed, only through training on cadavers, anatomy, from a mnemonic subject of study in books, becomes a true mirror of reality, allowing the clinician to acquire the sense of tissue consistency, to directly identify the most complex anatomical details and to learn the three-dimensional relationships of vessels, nerves and organs in the different parts of the body.
Is an anatomical preparation planned for each learner?
One head for every 2 participants will be made available to give everybody the opportunity to take part directly.
The participants themselves will perform the dissection of the anatomical structures and will apply the described surgical techniques directly on the cadaver, using the instruments and materials made available.
What percentage of the ACA courses will be devoted to practice?
80% of the courses are focused on practice, the keyword will be “do” and the more theoretical aspects will often be accompanied by hands-on demonstrations.
What type of certificate do the participants receive?
Everyone attending the courses will receive a certificate of participation in the training program of the Academy and for each module the relevant CME credits provided by the Ministry of Health will be issued.
How much do courses cost?
Our courses have variable costs; you can consult the page of each module to have information on costs.
Can I pay in installments or obtain financing for the participation fee?
Definitely! Our office staff will provide all the information concerning access to installment and financing conditions.
ACA organizes courses of dissection anatomy in the first instance and courses of application of surgical techniques proponendo moduli diversificati in a second step, with diversified modules based on the level and the clinical needs of each participant.
Study the anatomy of the oro-maxillo-facial region both intra- and extraorally and expand on the knowledge of those anatomical variables most strongly associated with intra- and postoperative complications discussed within the international scientific literature, through an evidence-based- scientifically oriented teaching method.
We take pride in our international teaching staff of anatomists and clinicians with considerable experience in the field of anatomical dissection, and we boast a strong partnership with the professors of the Department of cranio-cervico-facial anatomy of Université René Descartes Paris V, a historical reference center for anatomical dissection in Europe, and one of the most prestigious in the world.
The Cadaver Lab in Trecchi Palace is a modern and high-tech facility which has been designed paying the utmost attention to teaching paths.
Thirteen operating stations are present in the dissecting room; each station is equipped with all microsurgery instruments necessary for dissection as well as a videocamera for recording practice and live connection with the conference room.
The application of our surgical techniques is a fundamental step, that however follows the strengthening of anatomical knowledge.
We do not offer only dissection courses for application of surgical techniques or implant positioning.
The Academy of Craniofacial Anatomy caters for surgeons and dental practitioners interested in perfecting their dissection skills in the head-neck area; our training model involves an initial stage of learning dissection anatomy and a second stage regarding the application of techniques in oral surgery, maxillo-facial surgery and restorative plastic surgery as well as facial aesthetic medicine.
who have just approached the profession or are focused on raising their surgical competence through the study of anatomy.
for all those who want to develop their skills and careers through real learning of the topographic anatomy of the facial massif.
who want to transform their business, distinguishing themselves from those who offer courses that deal with anatomy in a hurried and incomplete manner.
