Workshop 3 : Microwave Ablation Workshops – NLI CC 2025
Workshop Summary:
This hands-on workshop provides a comprehensive overview of microwave ablation for two key applications: benign thyroid nodules and breast fibroadenomas. Learn from leading experts and observe live case demonstrations to gain practical skills in these minimally invasive procedures.
Workshop Directors:
Prof. Hazem Omar
Prof. Dr. Berat Acu (Turkey)
Workshop Overview:
Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive technique used to treat various benign tumors. This workshop focuses on two specific applications:
Benign Thyroid Nodules: Learn about the diagnosis, treatment planning, and ablation techniques for benign thyroid nodules.
Breast Fibroadenomas: Gain insights into the use of microwave ablation for treating breast fibroadenomas, a common benign breast condition.
The workshop will combine didactic lectures with live case demonstrations, providing participants with a thorough understanding of patient selection, procedure planning, and post-operative care for both applications.
Participants Will:
Understand the principles and mechanisms of microwave ablation.
Identify appropriate candidates for microwave ablation in both thyroid and breast applications.
Develop proficiency in the techniques of microwave ablation under expert guidance.
Apply best practices for patient selection, procedure planning, and post-operative care.
Gain experience in interpreting imaging studies and planning treatment strategies.
Develop skills in managing potential complications.
Network with colleagues and experts in the field.
