Dear Colleagues, We are delighted to extend to you a very warm invitation to attend this first International Symposium on Hand in 2004 in the very busy city of Jakarta. The city has a great number of business and industry in its surrounding which should be ready with the sophisticated services for the injured, including hand services. It has been more than 20 years that hand surgery works have its appreciation among surgeons in Indonesia in their daily practice, but very small numbers of scientific publications have been produced. It is our most concern to develop faster the understanding of fast growing sophisticated knowledge and practice of hand surgery, getting along with hand therapy. A variety of stimulating scientific programs has been arranged to cover almost all the topics for the basic understanding in dealing with hand injury. To this first scientific meeting we put the theme: professionalism in keeping the injured hand alive! Stimulating the future excellent works on hand injury, the meeting will be covering many great papers presented by many outstanding international speakers as well as national speakers. During the meeting you will have the opportunity to learn and discuss on current hand injury topics which are spread throughout eleven symposia and six panel discussions. You will not be regret to discuss with at least five presidents of National Society for Surgery of the Hand. It seems to be great if you haven't learned enough yet! We have four instructional courses on topics such as reposition and fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures, recent techniques in rehabilitation of hand contracture, how to achieve maximum function after tendon repair, and mostly for specialists and residents in anaesthesiology, namely regional analgesia / anaesthesia for hand surgery. The more interesting topics of this meeting would be two workshops on cadaveric dissection. You will feel them valuable while you learn the topics on local and regional flaps for the hand as well as tendon transfer. You are very welcome to present your papers on free paper sessions. Every delegates will learn much from your experiences, innovations, and formal scientific works. Indonesia has so many social and cultural events that we can appreciate the works using the unique and amazing hands. Historical scripts, sculpture, painting, music and dances are cultural expressions which are so fully expressive in the life of traditional way of living of the most interesting tribes of the Indonesian archipelago, and the contemporary products of modern innovative artists, musician, and dancers. You may enjoy some in Jakarta with its miniature of beautiful lives of so many cultures of Indonesian. A very, very warm welcome to you enjoying the scientific meetings, and please do come! | |||||
