Course Overview

The GSI Brachial Plexus Cadaveric Workshop offers surgeons an exceptional opportunity to build advanced proficiency in brachial plexus surgery. Structured for both emerging and seasoned practitioners, the two-day program combines robust theoretical instruction with intensive, hands-on cadaveric training.

Participants gain expertise in cutting-edge surgical approaches, including supraclavicular and infraclavicular exposures, vascularised ulnar nerve grafts, and intricate nerve transfer techniques such as spinal accessory to suprascapular and intercostal to musculocutaneous transfers. The program also covers advanced interventions including Wang's Procedure, free functional muscle transfers, and secondary reconstructive techniques.

Led by a distinguished panel of national faculty, participants engage in cadaveric dissections and interactive case-based discussions that build a comprehensive understanding of reconstructive strategies. This workshop is a definitive step for surgeons aiming to excel in the evolving field of brachial plexus surgery.
