From October 21st to 23rd, Moscow will host a significant event for the medical community: the 16th Congress of the Russian Society of Surgeons, held in conjunction with the 10th Congress of Moscow Surgeons. This event will bring together leading surgical specialists from across the country, providing a unique platform for exchanging experiences, discussing current issues, and presenting innovative treatment approaches.
The congress is organized with the support of the Russian Ministry of Health, the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Moscow Department of Health. This interaction underscores the importance of the event for the development of surgical science and practice in Russia.
The XVI Congress of the Russian Society of Surgeons has several key objectives:
The congress program includes a wide range of scientific reports, plenary sessions, and practical classes. Particular attention will be paid to reconstructive surgery, complex wound treatment, and the implementation of modern medical technologies.
One of the key events of the first day of the congress will be a presentation by Sergei Yuryevich Slepnev, Head of the Purulent Surgery Department at City Clinical Hospital No. 67 named after Vorokhobov, PhD, and member of the Russian Society of Surgeons. Dr. Slepnev will present a paper on "Experience with Reconstructive and Plastic Surgeries in the Surgical Treatment of Pressure Ulcers."
In his presentation, Sergei Yuryevich will share his unique clinical experience working with patients suffering from pressure ulcers—one of the most complex problems in surgical practice. The report will provide an overview of modern methods of reconstructive plastic surgery and will also examine in detail approaches to the use of wound dressings, such as Khitokol®.
Khitokol® wound dressings have proven themselves to be an effective means for the treatment of pressure ulcers due to their regenerative properties and ability to accelerate tissue healing. Dr. Slepnev will discuss in detail the results of using these materials in his practice and will also share methods that have proven effective in treating patients with varying degrees of severity.
The problem of bedsores remains relevant not only in surgery but in medicine as a whole. These tissue lesions can significantly impair patients' quality of life, prolong hospital stays, and increase the risk of complications. The development and implementation of new methods for treating pressure ulcers is an important step towards improving medical care.
Sergei Yuryevich Slepnev's presentation will be a valuable contribution to the discussion of this topic, providing congress participants with the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge approaches to solving this problem.
The 16th Congress of the Russian Society of Surgeons promises to be a vibrant medical event, bringing together specialists to address the pressing challenges of modern surgery. We invite all interested professionals to participate in the event to contribute to the development of surgical science and practice in Russia.
