3 OVERVIEW This unique forum will bring together nationally recognized experts, forward thinking surgeons and industry leaders to provide evidence-based results relating to innovative surgical procedures. An open academic discussion and critical debate format will be included, and involvement and active participation of surgical residents will be fostered. These elements are critical for the practicing surgeon to keep abreast of current technology and future investigations, with a goal to improve delivery of patient care. The format of the conference has been developed to provide attendees with the most up-to-date information on advances and challenges relating to current leading edge surgical procedures, instrumentation and technology. The gathering of recognized leading experts, as well as prominent surgeons from Central Texas and the outstanding scientific program, will make this a national event of the highest level. We believe this forum will serve to promote academic exchange and cooperation in the advancement of surgical techniques, as well as serve as a bridge between basic technological advances and clinical practice in surgery. OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to: Recognize current innovative approaches to the surgical management of common diseases states with emphasis on Vascular Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Bariatric Surgery and Urologic and Gynecologic. Discuss the pitfalls, potential advantages and barriers to the implementation of new surgical technologic advances. Evaluate current evidence-based practice and outcomes relating to surgical innovations. Recognize the need for ongoing evaluation of practicality, economics and results of new minimally invasive surgical treatments.
