This course encompasses experts from Ophthalmology, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Dermatology, with the purpose of offering participants a systematic and hands-on understanding of periocular oncology, anatomy, and the primary surgical techniques pertinent to this field. The course emphasizes guiding clinical thought processes of diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumours, the selection algorithm for each technique, and practical tips for circumventing complications.
