The Latest Science. The Toughest Cases. The Operations That Change Practice
Join leading trauma, acute care surgery, and critical care experts at Mattox TCCACS 2027at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, for three days of fast-paced education designed to change the way you care for injured and critically ill patients.
From groundbreaking research and controversial debates to technical operative pearls and real-world case management, TCCACS 2027 delivers the evidence, innovation, and practical decision-making today's surgeons need.
The scientific program is taking shape—here's what's ahead in 2027
Hot Topics That Will Shape Your Practice
Discover the newest evidence driving trauma and acute care surgery, including personalized sepsis resuscitation, whole blood versus component therapy, anticoagulation reversal, robotic applications in trauma, penetrating traumatic brain injury, plasma resuscitation, and the year's most influential clinical trials.
Master the Operations That Matter
Our signature "See One; Do One – How I Do It" session brings nationally recognized surgeons to the podium to demonstrate step-by-step approaches to some of the most technically demanding operations in trauma and emergency general surgery. Learn practical solutions for portal triad injuries, mediastinal trauma, Morel-Lavallée lesions, pediatric vascular injuries, emergency laparotomy closure, chest tube management, and more.
Critical Care at the Cutting Edge
Stay ahead of rapidly evolving ICU practice with updates on right ventricular failure, ventilator strategies, vasoactive agents, geriatric critical care, inhalation injury, GLP-1 medications in the injured patient, multidisciplinary management of TBI and BCVI, tracheostomy timing, and the latest landmark critical care trials.
Escape the Impossible with the Houdini Session
Complex patients require creative thinking. This popular session tackles the cases that test even experienced surgeons—from bleeding tracheostomies and exposed vascular grafts to traumatic abdominal wall hernias, perforated ulcer management, pregnancy emergencies, pediatric hemorrhagic shock, and difficult postoperative complications.
Annual Updates You Can Use Monday Morning
Get concise, high-yield updates on today's rapidly changing practice, including e-bike and e-scooter injuries, facial trauma, pediatric imaging, retained bullets, robotic ACS programs, wildlife injuries, ground-level falls, and the year's most important emergency general surgery literature.
Real Cases. Real Decisions. Real Lessons
Case management sessions, one focusing on urban scenarios and the other “strictly rural,” challenge a panel of nationally recognized faculty to think through complex clinical scenarios, while daily commentary sessions highlight key lessons, evolving evidence, and practical take-home messages from across the meeting.
When Things Go Wrong
Every surgeon faces complications. Learn expert strategies for rescuing patients after interventional radiology and advanced endoscopic complications, managing bile duct injuries, liver angioembolization failures, stoma complications, and tourniquet and pelvic binder injuries.
The Debates Everyone Will Be Talking About
Watch respected experts argue both sides of two of today's most controversial questions:
- Should every patient with acute appendicitis undergo surgery?
- Should unstable trauma patients ever undergo CT imaging before the operating room?
Expect lively discussion and evidence that challenges conventional thinking.
Leadership Beyond the Operating Room
The Henry C. Cleveland Forum explores the issues shaping the future of trauma surgery—from AI hallucinations in clinical practice, to OR recording liability, to trauma center verification, team building with APPs, meaningful performance metrics.
