🎙️ Panel | Small Incisions, Big Breakthroughs Pain management in minimally invasive thoracic surgery Effective postoperative pain control remains one of the key challenges in modern thoracic surgery. The development of minimally invasive surgical techniques has significantly changed the treatment of patients with thoracic diseases. At the same time, the role of modern pain management strategies continues to grow, supporting recovery, improving patient comfort, and helping reduce opioid use. During the Small Incisions, Big Breakthroughs panel, experts will explore the role of cryoanalgesia in modern thoracic surgery and its application in postoperative pain management. Topics discussed will include: 🔹 the use of intercostal cryoanalgesia in minimally invasive thoracic surgery (VATS), 🔹 the role of cryoanalgesia in perioperative protocols, 🔹 the impact of effective pain control on patient recovery, 🔹 opioid-sparing strategies following thoracic surgery, 🔹 the future of pain management in thoracic surgery. Joining the discussion: 👥 Matías Nicolás, MD – thoracic surgeon with more than 15 years of experience in minimally invasive surgery. His main areas of expertise include VATS surgery, robotic surgery, intercostal nerve cryoanalgesia, and the treatment of chest wall deformities, including pectus excavatum. 👥 Robert Chudzik, MD, PhD – thoracic surgeon and Assistant Professor at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Medical University of Lublin. His professional interests focus on minimally invasive VATS and RATS techniques, as well as cryoanalgesia in postoperative pain management. 🎤 Moderator: Mateusz Majsak #MetrumCryoflex #InternationalPainManagementDay #ThoracicSurgery #Cryoanalgesia #PostoperativePain

🎙️ Panel | Silencing the Nerve: Cryo vs. Toxin Botulinum toxin and cryoneurolysis compared in the treatment of spasticity-related pain Modern management of spasticity-related pain goes beyond a single therapeutic approach. Spasticity remains one of the most common causes of pain and functional limitations in patients with neurological conditions. During the Silencing the Nerve: Cryo vs. Toxin panel, experts will discuss how different therapeutic approaches can be used to manage pain associated with spasticity. Topics discussed will include: 🔹 clinical experience with the use of botulinum toxin, 🔹 the role of cryoneurolysis and botulinum toxin in the management of spasticity-related pain, 🔹 patient selection for different treatment approaches, 🔹 the role of the multidisciplinary team in treatment planning, 🔹 combining different therapeutic approaches in the management of spasticity-related pain. Sharing their perspectives: 👥 Prof. Iwona Sarzyńska-Długosz, MD, DSc – neurologist, specialist in medical rehabilitation and pain medicine affiliated with the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw. Her clinical and scientific interests include neurorehabilitation, spasticity management, and the therapeutic use of botulinum toxin. 👥 José Pereira, MD – specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation with experience in neurorehabilitation, the rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders, and ultrasound-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. His interests also include the use of modern technologies in rehabilitation. 🎤 Moderator: Beata Svianticka #MetrumCryoflex #InternationalPainManagementDay #Spasticity #CryoNeurolysis #NeuroRehabilitation
