Dear Colleagues and Friends, 

We are kindly inviting you and your colleagues to the International Perforator Flap Dissection Course which will take place in Brno, Czech Republic, on September 9-13, 2022.

We are delighted to inform you that this year the course will be hosted by four superstars of our speciality - Dr. J.P. Hong, Dr. G.G. Hallock (USA), Dr. J. Macia (ES) and Dr. E. Cigna (ITA). This will be a rare opportunity to make our minds influenced by a magic spirit of pioneers, who shift significantly the borders of microsurgeons' possibilities to help those who need us. Experiences from meeting these giants can be strongly influential especially for younger colleagues. 

Compared to the last year's successful course hosted by Dr. J.P. Hong and Dr. P. Berrino, this year the course has been expanded so that it now includes live surgeries section as well as workshop on preoperative diagnostics at Masaryk University simulation centre, where participants will be guided by experienced lecturers to map the vascular supply to the flaps using colour duplex sonography on live models and also Angio-CT in selected clinically relevant cases.

This dissection course has been designed to address the needs of the residents in plastic surgery who wish to learn flap dissection as well as more experienced plastic surgeons who wish to extend their repertoire of flap surgeries. All of our exceptional guests will be present in anatomical lab and participate in the teaching process in person! The course will be held at the University Centre for Surgical Anatomy providing fresh-frozen cadaver specimens enhanced by an advanced technique of coloured silicone vascular injections emphasizing the vascular anatomy of the flaps and facilitating dissection. A hands-on approach will be used with no more than two participants per cadaver specimen. We still have limited spaces left for hands-on participation.

This course will be followed by a day of lectures. The audience will have an exceptional opportunity to learn from the world leaders mentioned above. We anticipate their key note lectures, which will provide us with extraordinary educational experience. The lecture day will also provide space for nearly 30 presenters in free papers category. The best free paper and the most difficult case with the best microsurgical reconstruction solution will receive an award equal to 50% of the registration fee.

The last day of the program will be spent at the Simulation Center of Masaryk University where participants will have an opportunity to examine vascular anatomy of perforator flaps by means of colour duplex ultrasound devices on live models and also examine perforators on CTA in selected clinically relevant cases and compare their position in the Anatomage table (3D Anatomy & Virtual Dissection Platform). 

In the same day, our experts will perform selected surgeries, which will be streamed to the Simulation Centre of Masaryk University. Simultaneously, participants will have an opportunity to follow and discuss with the surgeons during the live surgeries. 

Please, don't hesitate to share this with your colleagues and residents. 

We are looking forward to meeting you in Brno and we believe you will acquire new ideas and skills from inspirational mentors, share your experience and make new friends. 

Welcome to the International Perforator Flap Dissection Course in Brno.

A magzati szívhiba a leggyakoribb fejlődési rendellenesség, prevalenciája 9.4/1000 élveszületés. A koraszülés mellett a csecsemőhalandóság meghatározója. A szívfejlődési rendellenességek antenatalis felismerése javítja a preoperatív és postoperatív mortalitást és morbiditást valamint a neurológiai kimenetelt, különösen hypoplasias balszívfél szindróma, nagyér transzpozíció és súlyos coarctatio aortae esetében.

A prenatalisan felismert szívhibák esetében a szülés helye, ideje, módja, szülés körüli speciális teendők igénye megszervezhető, így a prognózis javítható.

Az egyes szívhibák méhen belüli felismerési aránya tükrözi az adott centrum, ország szűrési hatékonyságát.  A szűrés hatékonyságát a szűrést végző elméleti és gyakorlati felkészültsége nagyban befolyásolja, mint ahogyan az alkalmazott szűrési protokoll is.

Terveinkben olyan egynapos, elméleti és gyakorlati tréning szerepel, ahol kis létszám (5-10 fő) mellett az érdeklődő nőgyógyász, szonográfus kollégáknak lehetőséget biztosítanánk, hogy elmélyüljenek a magzati szív és keringési rendszer I. és II. trimeszteri szűrésének módszertanában.

Tervezett tematika:

1. Rövid, bevezető gyakorlati rész: fontos és hasznos gépbeállítási paraméterek, Doppler technika bemutatása a gyakorlatban.

2. Elméleti rész:
- II. trimeszteri szűrés, síkok, normál anatómia (nőgyógyász kolléga).
- I. trimeszteri szűrés, síkok, ami elvárható (nőgyógyász kolléga).
- Síkok szerinti pathológiák: négyüreg, kiáramlási pályák síkja, 3 eres sík… (gyermekkardiológus)
- Hypoplasias balszívfél sziondróma
- Nagyértranszpozíció
- AV szeptum defektus

3. Gyakorlati rész: „hands on” tréning. A részvevők aktív bevonása, síkok kivitelezésének gyakorlatban történő bemutatása.

Dear esteemed colleagues and friends,

It is with great enthusiasm that we extend our warm invitation to you for the upcoming ESOT Congress, set to take place in the vibrant city of London, United Kingdom on 29 June–2 July 2025.
As we gather for this prestigious international event, we will continue the established ESOT tradition of fostering collaboration and innovation across the continent. The focus of the congress will be two-fold: an exchange of knowledge in the ever-evolving field of organ transplantation and a call to arms on the most pressing global challenge of our time – climate change.

Our core congress theme, ‘Nurturing a sustainable transplantation journey’ reflects our commitment to considerate practices and long-term sustainability in both transplantation methods and associated environmental impacts. We will delve into this concept throughout the congress, acknowledging the intersection of environmental stewardship and the advancement of transplant care. With the guidance of an international lineup of experts, we will examine the impact of global warming on each step of organ transplantation and explore innovative strategies to make the whole journey for transplant patients more efficient and environmentally responsible.

London, a city steeped in rich history and cultural diversity, provides an ideal backdrop for our congress. From the iconic landmarks to the cutting-edge medical institutions, London encapsulates the spirit of progress and enlightenment, making it a fitting host for discussions on the future of transplantation.

Join us in London for the ESOT Congress 2025, where we will not only fine-tune our knowledge on the latest medical breakthroughs, but also forge a path towards a greener and more sustainable future for organ transplantation.
