Welcome
On behalf of AOCMF and your local and international faculty, I would like to welcome you to this AOCMF
course.
AOCMF is a worldwide multi-specialty community that serves as the voice and professional resource for
craniomaxillofacial trauma and reconstruction.
Our organization creates a forum for specialists who have common interests and enthusiasm in this field. It is
our goal to encourage and inspire younger surgeons, such as residents, fellows, and early practitioners to
pursue fulfilling careers in our field.
Education has always been a major pillar in AOCMF. Currently, more than 2,500 surgeons participate in over
80 AOCMF courses held worldwide per year. AOCMF Education is committed to remaining in the forefron t of
education and new developments as we strive to improve your educational experience with us.
We hope that your experience with us over the next few days will result in the acquisition of new knowledge,
skills and understanding, which will translate in to an improvement in the care that you are able to give your
patients.
We also hope that, after attending this course, you will wish to develop a longer term relationship with
AOCMF and become a member of our community. Make this organization yours by bri nging in your opinions
and ideas. Enjoy the camaraderie of our network and help us maintain and expand the preeminent position
that AOCMF enjoys worldwide.
Yours sincerely,
Warren Schubert

AOCMF Course – Advances in Orbital and Periorbital Reconstruction, Vienna, Austria, May 25-27, 2017
Welcome by the Course Director
The orbit is probably the most challenging part for interdisciplinary work on different pathologies and deformities in the craniofacial skeleton. It is a key area for individual appearance and function of the visual sense, and it is a highly complex area of the facial skeleton. The advanced course on orbital and periorbital surgery will focus by lectures on reconstruction of the orbit in trauma at the first day and the second part will cover oncology and periorbital diseases. The third day will be a hands-on-cadaver laboratory training. It will provide a unique opportunity to perform the different approaches to the orbit and skull base region on non- fixated specimen. Additionally we will focus on virtual planning intraoperative imaging and navigation. We hope to enrich the discussion around the field of orbital surgery, which proves to be one of the spearheads in the AOCMF, educational events and focus on the interdisciplinary work with the different specialties, working in the orbit region. We look forward to welcoming you in Vienna from May 25–27, 2017. Yours sincerely Arnulf Baumann
Course Director
AOCMF Course – Advances in Orbital and Periorbital Reconstruction, Vienna, Austria, May 25-27, 2017
Goal of the course
The goal of the AOCMF course is to address reconstruction of the orbit in trauma, oncology, periorbital
diseases and to practice the different surgical approaches to the orbit and skull base region on non -fixated
specimen including the use of virtual planning, intraoperative imaging and navigation.
Target participants
Certified surgeons with a special interest in orbital surgery in the field of Ophthalmology, ENT Surgery,
Neurosurgery, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Plastic Surgery with 3 years or more practice experience.
Learning objectives
Upon completion of the course, the participant should be able to:
- Describe the current knowledge about orbital surgery in primary and secondary orbital reconstruction in
traumatic conditions and in the treatment of tumor diseases in the orbital region -
Address the pathologies and patient problems using an interdisciplinary approach -
Identify different materials, new procedures, and developments in orbital reconstruction -
Perform the steps in a variety of orbit and skull base approaches -
Apply the process of computer-aided planning and navigation -
Course description
This course is designed as a state-of-the art analysis of surgical challenges in the orbit region. This includes
a focus, advanced discussion of the approaches to the orbit, materials and problems in trauma and post -
traumatic deformities of the orb it. It will also cover the diagnosis and treatment of tumor and tumor -related
diseases of the orbit and the skull base in an interdisciplinary treatment approach. The course consists of
two parts as lectures, panel discussions on controversial topics and o n a hands-on-cadaver laboratory
training with additional computer assisted planning and navigation.

AO funding sources
Unrestricted educational grants from different sources are collected and pooled together centrally by the AO
Foundation. All events are planned and scheduled by local and regional AO surgeon groups based on local needs
assessments. We rely on industrial/commercial partners for in-kind support to run simulations/skills training if
educationally needed.

Event organization compliance
In certain countries where AO has no office but offers educational events, the AO cooperates with third party
companies to conduct local organization and logistics, as well as to communicate with participants in the local
language. In these cases the AO has put rules and guidelines in place (Letter of Secondment, AO Foundation—
Principles of AO Educational Events) to ensure that this cooperation has no impact on the curricula, scientific
program, or faculty selection.

AO Foundation—Principles of AO Educational
Events
1) Academic independence
Development of all curricula, design of scientific event programs, and selection of faculty are the sole responsibilities of
volunteer surgeons from the AO network. All education is planned based on needs assessment data, designed and evaluated
using concepts and evidence from the most current medical education research, and involving the expertise of the AO
Education Institute (www.aofoundation.org).
Industry participation is not allowed during the entire curriculum development and planning process to ensure academic
independence and to keep content free from bias.
2) Compliance to accreditation and industry codes
All planning, organization, and execution of educational activities follow existing codes for accreditation of high-quality
education:
Accreditation Criteria of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, USA (www.accme.org)
ACCME Standards for Commercial Support: Standards to Ensure Independence in CME Activities (www.accme.org)
Criteria for Accreditation of Live Educational Events of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (www.uems.eu)
Events that receive direct or indirect unrestricted educational grants or in-kind support from industry also follow the ethical codes
of the medical industry, such as:
Eucomed Guidelines on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals (www.medtecheurope.org)
AdvaMed Code of Ethics on Interactions with Health Care Professionals (advamed.org)
Mecomed Guidelines on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals (www.mecomed.org)
3) Branding and advertising
No industry logos or advertising (with the exception of the AO Foundation and AO Clinical Division) are permitted in the area
where educational activities take place.
Sponsors providing financial or in-kind support are allowed to have a promotional booth or run activities outside the educational
area with approval from the event chairperson.
4) Use of technologies and products in simulations
If case simulations are chosen as an educational method to educate skills, we only use technology approved by the AOTK
System (AOTK)—a large independent group of volunteer surgeons developing and peer-reviewing new technology (more
information about AOTK, its development and approval process can be found on the AO Foundation website:
www.aofoundation.org).
5) Personnel
Industry staff is not allowed to interfere with the educational content or engage in educational activities during the event.
