Educational Objective
I want the learner to be able to understand that FLACS is a tool that helps the surgeon in many difficult situations but not necessarily all. Drawing the line in a few challenging situations is the trick that one needs to master. The experience of high volumes FLACS surgeries has enabled us to understand when and where FLACS is our friend and our enemy.
