MEDICAL SURGICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGIES - The new technologies of reconstructive and regenerative surgery
In order to profitably attend the course, the student must have basic knowledge of histology, anatomy, physiology and pathology. It is advisable that they also have a basic knowledge of anatomy.
TThe objective of the examination is to verify the level of achievement of the training objectives indicated. There are three tests that reflect the three cultural macro-sectors of the teaching: each test will be oral and focusing on the specific surgical techniques (general and specialized aspects). A question will be formulated on the specific module and the student has to respond in a concise but relevant way covering all the important aspects of specialized surgical technologies as illustrated during the lectures. Honors will be awarded only in case of a score of 30/30 in all the modules of the course. The sufficiency will be based on the knowledge referred to the oral examination of the material presented in class, in terms of slides.
The course aims to teach the basic notions of reconstructive and regenerative plastic surgery. The student acquire basic the knowledge of techniques and the understanding of surgical mechanisms and technologies: the use of flaps, modern instruments and technologies of daily reality in operating rooms, breast implants and technologies for their construction and their actual use, what materials they are made of and their ability to interact with the human body. The student will acquire the capability of reasoning according to the logic of the discipline.
