SORG hands-on masterclass course

Date: March 14 - 15, 2025 | Munich, Germany

Newest technologies for surgical planning in facial trauma management

International faculty of experts

Course concept

This event is a 2-day course for learning how to perform virtual planning for everyday routine using 3D models, as well as using cutting-edge technologies like mixed reality. The course will equip you with the skills to plan surgeries more accurately and effectively, using both traditional and newer planning techniques.
