2015 World Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery WSRM Congress
I have taken the opportunity to prepare this greeting and “Welcome to Mumbai” on Christmas day 2013. The WSRM is made up of members from around the world-different cultures, religions, colors, creeds and countries. I have great respect for our differences, and believe that this diversity is the strength of our society. Today is a day when I can stop and reflect on the value of my friendships and professional partnerships with each of you. We have chosen medicine as a profession, and surgery under the microscope as a tool and technique to perform reconstruction for those in need of our gifts, science and art. Microsurgery is a world sport and we are all on the same team. The challenges and opportunities that reconstructive microsurgery offers us as physicians is unparalleled compared to many other disciplines. “All or none” is one of our mottos. The flap lives or dies. Nothing really in between. What is also true, is that we benefit a great deal sharing our experiences with one another in person. The 2015 meeting in Mumbai will be a time to experience this joy of exchange.
In addition to a spectacular scientific program, the hotel venue in Mumbai (Hyatt) is spectacular in every way, and feeds the “karma” of this potential exchange. How often have we attended a meeting and sat next to someone that we do not know from another country…only to find out that we as microsurgeons have so much in common. These common bonds include our strong work ethic, our investment into our craft, and our joy at making a difference using microsurgical techniques. Despite the advances in internet technology, and our ability to “Skype”, email and teleconference, nothing substitutes for face to face interaction. Furthermore, the country of India has so much to offer-cuisine, culture, history, philosophy and music- to name just a few attractions. Together-we have much work to do.
We are embarking on the next half century of reconstructive microsurgery. Tissue engineering, allo-transplantation, genetic modulation, drug discovery and new methods of delivery will no doubt rely on the use of microsurgical techniques. We must continue to build on our foundation and look into the future. Attracting the next generation of microsurgeons is our mission and responsibility. Our goal is to be inclusive-encouraging all that have interest to come to Mumbai, and depart as a valued member of our microsurgical family. Please plan now to set aside March 19-22, 2015 for what I know will be a spectacular celebration of reconstructive microsurgery. Feel free to contact me personally atscott.levin@uphs.upenn.edu for any issues regarding our society or the meeting.
With best wishes for a healthy, prosperous and "thrombosis free" New Year. See you in Mumbai if not before!.
