WELCOME!

A Message from the Symposium Chairperson and Planning Committee

We are proud to present the Kaiser Permanente Plastic Surgery Symposium and invite you to join us as we maintain professional excellence and enhance patient care management through the tradition of providing progressive plastic surgery education.  Plastic Surgery, more than most specialties, is a constantly changing field, and as such, we need to be well apprised of changes in technologies, surgical techniques, surgical protocols, and anatomical considerations.

We have assembled an outstanding panel of speakers sharing their expertise and knowledge for state of the art evaluation and treatment of patients with a wide range of reconstructive issues and patient care problems – including :  Evolving landscape of obesity treatment:  Contemporary breast reconstruction - including neurotization, hybrid reconstructions; Ways to prevent complications following microsurgical breast reconstruction:  Modern state of implant breast reconstruction: The relevance of ADM in 2022:  Overview of abdominal wall reconstruction and its challenges, and The modern approach and state of lower extremity reconstruction  We will explore new and proven procedures, technical details, and innovations, their results and applicability to our practices.  An open forum with the faculty will encourage audience participation, questions and discussion.

It’s also a great opportunity to be able to interact with Kaiser Permanente plastic surgery colleagues from around the region and state, and share best practices.

We encourage you to attend this event.
