Baird-Sponsored Microwave Ablation Training in New Orleans
Baird Medical, a pioneer in the field of minimally invasive Microwave Ablation (MWA) technology, has recently sponsored an advanced training session in New Orleans aimed at enhancing the treatment of thyroid conditions. This training is part of their ongoing commitment to improving patient care through cutting-edge medical technologies.
The session was led by Dr. Emad Kandil, a prominent figure in the surgical community and the Ellis Hanna Chair in Surgery at Tulane University School of Medicine. The program provided participating physicians, including Dr. Salem Noureldine from George Washington University, with hands-on experiences and insights into MWA, a method known for its rapid recovery times and significant relief for patients suffering from thyroid nodules.
During the training, Dr. Noureldine had the opportunity to observe five live MWA cases, allowing him to practice the advanced techniques and understand the unique attributes of this innovative therapy firsthand. His observations emphasized the efficiency and user-friendly nature of MWA; notably, the absence of grounding pads during procedures showcases the patient's comfort and the streamlined approach of the technique.
Dr. Kandil, who has an extensive background in performing MWA procedures—over 80 to date—was recently seen addressing attendees at the American Thyroid Association (ATA) annual meeting, where he discussed MWA's advantages over Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA). He described MWA as a novel, safe, and effective solution for treating selected thyroid patients, underscoring the importance of meticulous patient selection for the best outcomes.
Post-training discussions between Dr. Kandil and Dr. Noureldine further highlighted the potential for MWA to transform thyroid care. Dr. Noureldine received a Certificate of Completion, affirming his newly acquired expertise and readiness to incorporate MWA into his practice. In his words, "Expanding access to groundbreaking therapies like MWA begins with equipping physicians with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed."
Haimei Wu, the Chairwoman of Baird Medical, commented on the importance of these training programs: "By investing in education led by experienced professionals like Dr. Kandil, we aim to foster collaboration in the medical community and help more patients gain access to advanced thyroid care options."
Baird Medical is committed to supporting healthcare professionals through such specialized training initiatives. Their goal is to merge advanced technology with expert insights, paving the way for broader access to minimally invasive treatments in thyroid care and beyond.
