"I invite you to join us in Geneva, Switzerland for the 21st Biennial Congress of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
ISAPS now includes over 2,100 members in 91 countries.  Our Congress is open to all qualified plastic surgeons with an interest in aesthetic surgery.  We will combine this Congress with the annual meetings of the Swiss society of plastic surgeons and the European Association of Societies of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (EASAPS).  Because Geneva is so easily accessible from many surrounding countries in Europe, we anticipate very good attendance by plastic surgeons, nurses, aestheticians, office staff, and accompanying guests and families.
The Centre International de Conférences Genève (CICG) in central Geneva will be our very comfortable and intimate home for this glorious first week in September.  Our local staff will help you to organize short, optional tours to surrounding mountains and of course around beautiful Lake Geneva.  Our 2012 Program Committee under the direction of Dr. Alain Fogli of France is already at work on the planning to include new and important information, and our social program organized by our local Geneva host,
Dr. Kai Schlaudraff, will insure that you and your family will enjoy your time in Switzerland.
Please join us on the shores of Lake Geneva in September of 2012.

"Abdominal wall defects, whether congenital or acquired, traumatic or iatrogenic, are one of the most common surgical challenges in the world. Very little consensus currently exists on the appropriate roles and indications for primary closure vs. mesh closure vs. muscle/fascia release and advancement techniques and subsequent outcomes. The recurrence rates for abdominal wall defect repairs remain high, and potential complications can be catastrophic, leading to far more complex defects than on original presentation. This meeting will be the most comprehensive course on abdominal wall reconstruction to date covering all aspects of the general principles of abdominal wall reconstruction, including anatomy, physiology, innervation of the abdominal wall, risk stratification, and recognizing early risk for failure. All options for abdominal wall reconstruction will be discussed in detail including primary vs. open repair, with and without inert vs. synthetic biomaterials, component separation, role of abdominoplasty, and associated indications, contraindications and complications of each. The rapidly expanding industry of the development of synthetic biomaterials with potential for revascularization will be discussed in detail with each currently available biomaterial weighed against its pros and cons and potential role in abdominal wall reconstruction. Soft tissue infections on the abdominal wall as a risk for abdominal wall defect and as a potential complication of abdominal wall reconstruction will be reviewed in detail including both surgical and medical management. Lastly, all aspects of complex abdominal wall defects, including congenital neonatal defects, traumatic abdominal wall defects, and the management of entercutaneous fistulas with wound management will be discussed in detail.

This comprehensive four day course will cover all aspects of abdominal wall reconstruction for general, plastic, trauma, and pediatric surgeons with an added interest for wound care specialists and enteral stoma nurses. Please note workshops or break out sessions will not be covered by PORTAL Education – only the main auditorium lectures."
