On March 10-11, 2023, at the Castle of the Gniezno Archbishops in Uniejów, members and supporters of the POS met during the "Orthoplastic surgery" - First Meeting of the Polish Orthoplastic Society.
The program of the Congress included a session on soft tissues flaps and a session devoted to particularly difficult cases that limb reconstructive surgeons encounter in their daily practice.
As part of the session on soft tissue flaps, papers with tips and tricks were delivered on the anterolateral thigh flap, posterior interosseous artery flap, omental flap, methods of addressing spinal defects and the keystone flaps. The importance of proper and complex surgical wound debridement was emphasized, as well as the use of indocyanine green and current guidelines for peri- and postoperative management in reconstructive surgery, with particular emphasis on the issue of anticoagulant treatment.
A significant part of the meeting was devoted to "particularly difficult cases" - complicated clinical conditions and non-obvious choices that limb reconstructive surgeons face in their daily practice.
The sessions were attended by National Consultant in the field of orthopedics and traumatology of the musculoskeletal system professor Jaroslaw Czubak, professor Leszek Romanowski, professor Jerzy Gosk, professor Krzysztof Słowiński, professor Jerzy Jabłecki, professor Marcin Złotorowicz and many surgeons specializing in reconstructive surgery from all over Poland.
We would like to thank all participants Ist POS Meeting for their presence and active participation! See you soon!
