Mission Statement
The Southeastern Surgical Congress
Atlanta, Georgia
The Southeastern Surgical Congress was founded to provide opportunities for surgeons and surgeons in training to come together for educational, scientific, and social purposes to promote and advance the study and practice of surgery.
The Congress proposes to carry out this mission by holding an annual scientific meeting that consists of one or more postgraduate courses covering new techniques and technology for specific surgical topics plus a three-day plenary session that includes (1) prominent surgical authorities as invited speakers; (2) presentations with assigned discussants selected from a large number of abstracts; (3) current surgical research projects selected by competition; (4) surgical operative procedures by noted surgeons on video; (5) informal discussion groups at luncheon meetings; (6) specialty panels providing opportunities for active participation by the surgeons attending; (7) and a Poster Session covering a wide variety of general surgical topics, including discussion by a team of rounding professors.
At the annual meeting, all papers and videos shall have assigned discussants to insure that the topics are thoroughly covered and discrepancies in research are noted. Time will be allocated for discussion from the floor to increase audience participation.
Papers presented at the meeting will be submitted for peer review and then published, along with manuscripts independently submitted, in THE AMERICAN SURGEON, a journal owned and published by the Southeastern Surgical Congress.
The Congress is committed to assisting surgeons keep abreast of new and emerging technologies, based on accepted recommendations or sound new research, to make surgery safer and more effective for patient care. The Southeastern Surgical Congress monitors impact on practice change by systematic assessment of meeting/course evaluations.

Postgraduate Course
Breast Cancer Updates: Optimal Reimbursement, Imaging, and Management
February 11, 2012
Coordinator: Robert C.G. Martin, II, MD
Course Description and Objectives: This is a comprehensive course which will cover the use and reimbursement for diagnostic ultrasound and biopsy of the breast, sentinel lymph node biopsy in the staging of breast disease, and breast radiofrequency ablation including all of the technical advances which have occurred since these methods were introduced a few years ago. Other topics to be covered will include the use of MRI in the diagnosis and management of patients with breast cancer. Additional topics will include Genetic evaluations of breast cancers and how to assist breast cancer patients in decisions on adjuvant therapy and additional treatments. Additional topics will also cover an update on the NSABP and ACOSOG sentinel node trials, management of women at high risk of developing breast cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, stereotactic and ultrasound-guided biopsy, alternative imaging modalities, and the economics of this breast care. The hands on component of this course will provide additional training in the above topics with emphasis on ultrasound-guided biopsy, breast ablation, and genetics.
Surgeons who complete the course will become acquainted with the most up to date information and methodology for evaluation and management of breast disease. Surgeons should then be able to understand and discuss the controversies in management of breast disease with their patients more effectively.
