  • Fundamentals: this is a suturing workshop focused on finessing the techniques that plastic surgeons use to minimise scarring and maximise wound closure. This workshop will be concentrating on excisions, dermal sutures, epidermal techniques including subcuticular sutures, and other repair techniques used in skin cancer surgery such as basic flaps.
