Happy International OMS Day (Feb 13) to the surgeons who restore function, rebuild faces, and change lives—every single day. 

From trauma to tumors, from deformity to aesthetics, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is where precision meets purpose:
Function → Reconstruction
Complex care → Lifespan expertise

At ARCAS Education, we’re proud to support surgeon-focused training and global collaboration—because better education means better outcomes.

Tagging our colleagues at — thank you for amplifying OMS worldwide. 🤍

If you’d like the full scientific program & registration details for our ARCAS Cadaver Intensive (Istanbul, May 2026), message us and we’ll share the complete course flow and options.

Extraoral approaches are not “bigger incisions”; they are planned corridors that trade a scar for three major advantages: ↵
Safer dissection around the facial nerve and key vessels. ↵
Wider, more stable exposure for panfacial trauma and TMJ surgery. ↵
More controlled reduction and rigid fixation when intraoral access is not enough.

If you only go extraoral as a rescue when things go wrong, you’re already late. These routes should be part of your primary plan for difficult access, not an improvisation in crisis.

On 11 May 2026 in Istanbul, Day 2 of the ARCAS Cadaver Intensive is dedicated to extraoral approaches to the facial skeleton – full-day, hands-on work on fresh-frozen cadavers, with 2 surgeons per specimen under close faculty supervision.

Orthognathic Osteotomies & Fixations ↵ In orthognathic surgery, the fixation plan is your real “final occlusion”.
If plate choice, vector and sequence are wrong, even the best model surgery will decompensate on the patient.

Key principles to protect your result ↓
1. Think in three planes ↵
Every cut and screw should serve the planned change in AP, vertical and transverse dimensions – never just “close what fits”.
2. Control the condyle ↵
Seating the condyle before definitive fixation is non-negotiable; minor malposition here is major relapse later.
3. Use the splint as a guide, not a crutch ↵
The intermediate/final splint should confirm your planning, not replace it – fixation must be stable even after splint removal.
4. Sequence matters ↵
Decide in advance which segment you will stabilise first and why; random screw placement is a common cause of unintended rotations.

On Day 3 of the ARCAS Cadaver Intensive, we take these principles from model planning to fresh-frozen cadavers – Le Fort I, BSSO and rigid fixation – so your first independent cases feel planned, not improvised.
