AO CMF NA Course Contemporary Management of Orbit and Midface Trauma (with human anatomical specimens)

October 23, 2026 - October 25, 2026
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

The computer-aided craniomaxillofacial surgery program offers an intensive hands-on experience using human anatomic specimens to explore both current digital surgical tools and the next-generation technologies entering operating rooms.

Evaluating and treating orbital and mid-facial fractures and peri-orbital soft tissue injuries can be challenging, even for experienced surgeons. Landmarks within the orbit can be difficult to visualize, and relationships between important structures remain unclear. Additional factors complicating orbital reconstruction and treatment include:

A fragile and highly specialized structure — the globe — and its associated adnexal structures (e.g., extraocular muscles, lacrimal system, and eyelids).-
Much debate about which orbital injuries should be repaired, with what surgical approach, and the optimal timing for the repair,
The orbit is not completely treated by any one specialty but shared by several

This 2 ½ day course is intended to address each of these challenging factors through an extensive hands-on learning program taught by national and international experts that represent all the CMF specialties (oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ophthalmology, and oculoplastics). This course features lectures combined with expert demonstrations, small group case-based discussions, and ample practical exercises with a low participant to faculty ratio of 4:1.

Target Audience

This course is primarily designed for attending surgeons in the fields of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Otolaryngology, Plastic and Reconstruction, Ophthalmology and Oculoplastics. Senior Residents (PGY 4 and above) and Fellows may also find this course beneficial.
