Mastering Perforator Flaps in Breast Surgery: Principles, Techniques and Refinement

The workshop will be chaired by Peter Chin (Tauranga Hospital, NZ) and feature a line-up of experts including Ashutosh Kothari (Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital), Peter Barry (The Royal Marsden Hospital) and Farid Meybodi (Sydney Westmead Breast Cancer Institute).

This workshop is designed for surgeons who are beginning to incorporate, or are looking to expand their use of, chest wall perforator flaps in clinical practice. It is also well suited to those wishing to refine their technical skills in this evolving technique.

The program will cover key anatomical considerations, indications for use, and the various types of flaps—including LICAP, LTAP, AICAP and MICAP. Practical insights, technical tips and tricks, common pitfalls, and challenging cases will also be included.

There is no additional fee to attend this workshop if you are an ASBD Member, $165 for non-members. Entry is included in the main conference registration; however, early registration is recommended to secure your attendance.

Endocrine Deprivation in Breast Cancer Treatment: Managing the Fallout

This workshop explores the complex and often under-recognised effects of endocrine deprivation in breast cancer treatment. Topics include the management of menopausal side effects, hormonal therapies to support sexual health, urinary concerns in menopause, and the role of pelvic physiotherapy.

With input from medical, urological, and physiotherapy experts, this session is essential for all members of the multidisciplinary team to optimise survivorship care and improve patient quality of life.
