Dear Colleagues

It is a sincere privilege to be writing this email to you as Course Director for this International Masterclass on Abdominal Wall Reconstruction where the Faculty has been chosen to contribute to heighten the standards of teaching regarding the necessary care required in Abdominal Catastrophes involving efficient control and accomplishing a successful reconstruction.

This Course will take place this coming May 25 and 26 at Coimbra University which is among the oldest universities in continuous operation in the world, dating back to 1537. I myself am a proud alumni of the Faculty of Medicine of Coimbra.

I am certain this is not only going to be a great teaching experience but also a great exchange of knowledge amongst all those involved.

On the first day you will see live major open abdominal wall reconstruction and closure techniques performed by our world leaders.

During the second day you will learn, interact and practice in a cadaver lab the basis for the approaches performed to control major abdominal catastrophies from the index operation to reconstruction.

Don't miss on this chance to improve your practice with state-of-the-art techniques for unlikely survivals when managing abdominal catastrophies.

Most Sincerely,

Fernando Ferreira

Head of The Complex Abdominal Wall Unit, Department of Surgery, Pedro Hispano Hospital, Matosinhos – Porto

	Gedeon Lill, MD Dr. G. Lill founded Fasciotens. Developed by surgeons for surgeons. The development is based on a simple idea: The fascia retraction, which was almost inevitable in the course of time, should be counteracted with ventral traction. Fasciotens developed a prototype that would keep the fascia of the open abdomen under tension with the help of an external support and thus prevent the abdominal wall from retracting. The prototype was optimized together with renowned clinics over several development steps up to the market launch and is available today as fasciotens®Abdomen.
