While there are many paths to surgical excellence, true mastery lies in understanding the nuances. This session will spotlight three of today’s most topical controversies in our shared pursuit of precise and predictable outcomes, presented by experts from around the globe. Expect an engaging, thought-provoking and perhaps even slightly argumentative discussion, with contrarian perspectives aimed at persuading the audience why their position should prevail!
