Superficial Anatomy & Cutaneous Surgery


Hugh Greenway's 39th Annual Superficial Anatomy & Cutaneous Surgery program is designed to provide the basic information and principles of superficial head and neck anatomy and surgery for those interested in dermatologic surgery. Each participant will utilize fresh cadaver material for superficial head & neck dissection. Lectures will be used for initial instruction and will be followed by ample time in the laboratory.

In addition, the course will focus on local skin flaps and grafts as they pertain to the cutaneous surgeon. Small group workshops will give participants an opportunity to problem solve with the outstanding faculty we have assembled.

2022 Highlights Include:

  • Anatomy lectures and prosection demonstration
  • Hands-on laboratory
  • Reconstruction techniques including flaps and grafts
  • Subspecialty faculty including plastic surgery, oculoplastic surgery, head and neck surgery, hand surgery, podiatry
  • Expanded Problem solving sessions

When we began this course, there were many significant issues and questions. The foremost question being would Dermatologists come for this type of training? For decades you have come from all over the world and we salute you in being a part of the growth of Dermatologic Surgery.

We look forward to seeing you in August!

Hubert T. Greenway, Jr., MD
