Topic: Advanced Technology for Head and Neck Reconstruction Surgery
Presenter:
Dr. Eitan Prisman, Clinical Professor in the UBC Division of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery
Bio:
Dr. Eitan Prisman, a Clinical Associate Professor in UBC’s Department of Surgery, Division of Otolaryngology, and a head and neck surgeon at Vancouver General Hospital, has been actively involved in research since his UBC appointment in 2014. He focuses on integrating technology into head and neck reconstructive surgery, collaborating with UBC’s Biomedical and Computer Engineering departments. His lab developed an in-house virtual surgical planning system, including 3D-printed cutting guides for upper and lower jaw reconstruction, in clinical use since 2017. Dr. Prisman initiated Western Canada’s first Trans-oral Robotic Surgery (TORS) Program in 2014 and led the randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) ORATOR from 2014 to 2017. He is committed to improving head and neck oncology patient care through technology, with ongoing research in evaluating virtual surgical planning via an RCT, establishing a virtual platform for interdisciplinary collaboration in head and neck cancer treatment, exploring ultrasound applications in TORS, and incorporating machine learning into medicine for enhanced diagnostics and treatment.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the process and benefits of virtual surgical planning for maxilla and mandible reconstruction
- Apply image-guided surgery to head and neck reconstruction to develop an in-house day-of-surgery system.
- Demonstrate the potential utility of ultrasound in improving accuracy of transoral robotic surgery.
