Session 3: CAMPs
-
Speaker: Dr. Michael Desvigne
Cellular, acellular, and matrix-like products (CAMPs) have rapidly expanded the therapeutic armamentarium of the modern plastic surgeon. These products promise improved wound healing, tissue regeneration, and aesthetic and reconstructive outcomes. However, alongside their growing popularity lies ongoing debate regarding their safety, efficacy, regulation, and appropriate clinical use. This talk examines CAMPs as both a potential friend and foe in plastic surgery.
-
Speaker: Dr. Abigail Chaffin
Through clinical examples and evidence-based discussion, this presentation will examine where CAMPs integrate into the reconstructive ladder, how they can shorten the reconstructive ladder and help avoid more invasive procedures, and when they meaningfully improve outcomes versus add cost or complexity. This session aims to help surgeons thoughtfully incorporate CAMPs into modern practice while preserving sound surgical principles and patient-centered care.
-
Panel: Dr. Michael Desvigne, Dr. Abigail Chaffin, Dr. Mark Suski, Dr Daniel Kapp
Moderator: Dr. Thomas Davenport
This panel discussion brings together leading plastic surgeons to address the fundamental questions surrounding CAMPs: Who should be using them, what products are appropriate for specific indications, whythey should be chosen over traditional reconstructive options, and when their use is truly justified.
