Surgical Adv. in Axillary & Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection

On December 4, 2007, at 4:00 pm PST, join surgeons Anne Marie Wallace, MD, FACS and Karen Kay Darricau, MD, FACS, in a live hour-long Internet presentation of techniques using Harmonic® energy technology for axillary and sentinel lymph node dissections during a sentinel node biopsy.

The presenting surgeons will feature the technique of sentinel node biopsy, which is a common procedure for many different solid tumors. The webcast will demonstrate making an incision in the axillary crease, using the neo2000® Gamma Detection System to guide surgery toward the hot lymph node, and using the Harmonic FOCUS™ 9cm Curved Shears for dissection and hemostasis of axillary tissue. Following the dissection, the lymph node or nodes are immediately evaluated by pathology using frozen section analysis.

The December 4th live Internet broadcast will originate from the Moores Cancer UCSD Center in La Jolla, CA. During the program viewers may email questions directly to Drs. Wallace and Darricau, providing a dynamic clinical interchange between the audience and presenters.
