Practical Course in Breast Reconstruction with Implants and Flaps 2026

Two days of cadaveric dissection at the École de Chirurgie in Paris, in partnership with Henri-Mondor Hospital AP-HP and Paris-Saclay Faculty of Medicine.

Two days of hands-on training on anatomical subjects, devoted to breast reconstruction with implants and flaps. The course is intended for plastic surgeons, gynaecological surgeons and oncologic surgeons who wish to acquire or consolidate reconstruction techniques.

Lectures and dissection alternate. One anatomical subject is allocated to two surgeons, so that each participant performs the harvest under the supervision of a senior surgeon.
