17th meeting of the Polish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery

Between the 10th and the 12th, Poznań hosted the 17th meeting of the Polish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. For the first time, the meeting included a symposium of the International Society of Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

The first two days of the meeting, hosted by the Polish Society, included topics on breast reconstruction, treatment of lymphatic oedema and breast enlargement. A great lecture was given by prof. Aneta Undas on thromboembolic complications following plastic surgery operations. This very important topic concerns the application of practical prevention measures, so-called thromboprevention. The lectures were great, several very important issues were clarified in terms of the risk of thrombolic complications in plastic surgery.

The last day hosted the ISAPS Symposium ‘Aesthetic Surgery of the Face’. We had the great pleasure of hosting prof. Nazim Cerkes of Turkey, a world-class plastic surgeon executing the most complicated nose operations. The afternoon session dealt with operations of the face and neck. Two excellent surgeons, Dr Gianloca Campiglio of Italy and Dr Apostolos Mandrekas of Greece presented their work, effects, achievements. It was a great pleasure to host such eminent doctors at a meeting of the Polish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.

The evening social meetings were an opportunity to talk privately and make new friendships.
