This past weekend I was back at Duke for the 2026 Flap Course, teaching lumbar artery perforator (LAP) and DIEP flap technique alongside a terrific group of reconstructive microsurgeons from around the country.
Courses like this are how this specialty keeps moving forward — walking through anatomy, dissection, and real cases with faculty and residents, then trading notes on what's working in each of our own practices. Getting to teach it is always a reminder of how much I still learn every time I do.
Grateful for the invitation and for the colleagues who make weekends like this worth the trip.
