Maria Troulis: Restoring Form, Function, and Identity After Severe Craniofacial Injury

PREMIUM MASTERCLASS - LIMITED ENROLLMENT

This advanced educational activity is designed to provide direct interaction and small-group mentorship.

Enrollment is limited to 10 participants to ensure a highly interactive, case-based learning environment.

Complimentary access is free for surgeON subscribers (first 5 seats, priority access).

Remaining seats are offered as a paid registration.

Limited enrollment ensures a high level of faculty interaction and peer discussion.

Participation is confirmed on a first-come basis.

TRAIN WITH WORLD-LEADING FACULTY

A rare opportunity to engage directly with internationally recognized leaders in surgical education, complex decision-making, and craniofacial care:

Maria J. Troulis, DDS, MSc - Harvard Medical School / Harvard School of Dental Medicine

Walter C. Guralnick Distinguished Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and surgeon at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Internationally recognized for her expertise in craniofacial trauma, operative sequencing, and complex reconstruction. A leader in surgical education and former residency program director and department chair, she has shaped generations of surgeons in high-level clinical decision-making.

+++ PRIVATE. INTERACTIVE. HIGH-LEVEL +++

This is not a lecture. This is a closed, mentored masterclass focused on advanced decision-making in complex craniofacial trauma.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Secondary reconstruction following severe facial trauma presents a distinct set of challenges beyond the acute phase. Patients often present with residual deformity, functional impairment, scarring, and altered anatomy following prior interventions.

This masterclass focuses on decision-making in delayed and revision reconstruction, where standard algorithms are no longer sufficient and clinical judgment becomes critical.

Through a highly interactive, case-based format, participants will work directly with faculty to analyze complex secondary trauma cases, with emphasis on:

• Re-establishing facial symmetry and skeletal relationships

• Management of malunions, nonunions, and soft tissue deficits

• Restoration of occlusion, airway, and functional outcomes

• Strategic sequencing of revision procedures

• Balancing aesthetic and functional priorities in previously operated patients

EDUCATIONAL APPROACH

This masterclass is designed as a high-level discussion environment, emphasizing:

• Small-group mentorship (maximum 10 participants)

• Case-based analysis of real-world secondary reconstruction challenges

• Open, expert-led discussion of alternative strategies and decision pathways

• Application of principles to participants’ own cases

Participants are expected to actively engage and contribute to discussion.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This masterclass is designed for clinicians seeking to refine their approach to complex reconstruction:

Early-career surgeons - Develop structured approaches to revision cases and complex reconstructive planning.

Residents and fellows - Gain exposure to advanced clinical reasoning typically acquired through years of experience.

Practicing surgeons - Refine decision-making in secondary reconstruction, including management of complications and suboptimal prior outcomes.

Selected advanced trainees and students with a strong interest in craniofacial surgery and reconstructive principles.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Analyze challenges unique to secondary and revision craniofacial reconstruction

• Define functional and aesthetic priorities in previously treated patients

• Develop structured sequencing strategies for complex revision cases

• Evaluate reconstructive options in the setting of altered anatomy and scarring

• Anticipate complications and optimize long-term outcomes

• Apply interdisciplinary, case-based reasoning to complex trauma reconstruction
