Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our privilege and honor to invite you to join us in the beautiful island of Cyprus for the 1st Mediterranean Conference of Plastic Surgery Innovations that will take place between the 27th to 29th of May 2023 at the Amathus Hotel in Limassol

The meeting is organized by the Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery of the University of Colorado in collaboration with various societies including the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM), the Austrian Society for Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, the Cyprus Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (CySPRAS), the European Plastic Surgery Research Council (EPSRC), the German Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, the German Speaking Society for Microsurgery of Peripheral Nerves and Vessels, the Hellenic Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (HESPRAS), and the Swiss Society for Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery.

This year’s meeting will concentrate on reconstruction of the entire body, and particularly microsurgical reconstruction, aiming to cover hot innovative topics and controversial issues. We have developed a rigorous scientific program focusing on head and neck reconstruction, upper and lower extremity reconstruction, peripheral nerve reconstruction, breast reconstruction, trunk reconstruction, lymphatic reconstruction, and gender affirming surgery.

These topics will be presented by regional and international well renowned experts in the field. It is our hope that the meeting will bring together delegates from all the surrounding continents for a highly educational experience complemented by ample networking and best-practice exchange opportunities.

We look forward to welcoming you all to Cyprus to learn more of the history of the island and at the same time to enjoy the wonderful weather and the famous Cypriot hospitality!

With warm regards,
