CONGRESS PRESENTATION
We decided to give the XV SICSSO Congress edition a title: “News: this
year DMEK”.
Besides the keynote lectures presented by some of the main opinion
leaders of our field, this year the program will be focused on live surgery
sessions and debates.
The aim is to give the opportunity to Surgeons and Chairs to share and
discuss their experience in the operating room with the audience.
As for the past editions, SICSSO will recognize two colleagues who
distinguished themselves in the study of corneal and ocular surface
diseases: we will have the honor to award Dr. Francis Price and Prof. Jorg
H. Krumeich with 2016 SICSSO Medal Lecture.
We are also pleased to confirm and renew the cooperation established
with the London Moorfields Eye Hospital, one of the major and
prestigious hospital for the eye care in Europe, which has awarded
SICSSO with a 1 or 2 week observership to be offered to a young
ophthalmologist (provided he/she is under 40): SICSSO will give this
opportunity to the winner of the best oral communication, together with
a grant of 1.000 euros to support travel and stay expenses.
Thank also to the Institute de Microcirurgia Ocular in Barcelona that
will give a chance to an ophthalmology resident with a best scientific
poster to win 1 or 2 week observership together with a grant of 1.000
euros to support travel and stay expenses.
And Clinica degli Occhi Sarnicola in Grosseto (Italy) that will give the
opportunity to an ophthalmology resident with a best original poster
to win 1 or 2 week observership together with a grant of 500 euros to
support travel and stay expenses.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Caserta,
Vincenzo Sarnicola

Anche quest’anno abbiamo voluto dare un tema alla XV edizione del
congresso internazionale della SICSSO, intitolandola “News: this year
DMEK”.
Accanto alle letture magistrali assegnate ad alcuni tra i principali
opinion leader del nostro settore, quest’anno il programma sarà
focalizzato sulla live surgery e relativi dibattiti.
L’obiettivo è di dare la possibilità ai Chirurghi e Moderatori di
condividere e discutere le proprie esperienze in sala operatoria con
l’audience.
Come per le edizioni passate, SICSSO premierà due personaggi che
si sono distinti a livello mondiale in ambito corneale e di superficie
oculare: avremo quindi l’onore di assegnare le Medal Lecture 2016 al
Dr. Francis Price e al Prof. Jorg H. Krumeich.
Siamo molto contenti di confermare e rinnovare la collaborazione con
il Moorfields Eye Hospital di Londra, il rinomato ospedale oftalmico
tra i più grandi d’Europa, che ha messo a disposizione della SICSSO
una observership di 1 o 2 settimane. Offriremo quest’opportunità,
supportata da un contributo per spese di viaggio e soggiorno di 1.000
euro, al vincitore della migliore comunicazione orale, purché abbia meno
di 40 anni.
Un grazie anche all’Institute de Microcirurgia Ocular di Barcellona
che darà la possibilità ad un oftalmologo specializzando (premiato per il
miglior poster scientifico) di passare 1 o 2 settimane presso la struttura
con un contributo di 1.000 euro per sostenere le spese di viaggio e
soggiorno.
E alla Clinica degli Occhi Sarnicola di Grosseto che potrà ospitare un
oftalmologo specializzando (premiato per il miglior poster originale) 1 o
2 settimane presso la struttura con un contributo di 500 euro.
Vi aspettiamo a Caserta,
Vincenzo Sarnicola

WET LABs
The organization of wet labs has always
registered a great success in the past
editions of the SICSSO congress: that is
why we are again offering surgeons the
opportunity to train using corneal tissues
made available from eye banks.
Wet labs have a duration of 1 hour; 9-10
participants are allowed per session, as
this is the availability of microscopes.
Teacher’s surgery will be shown through a camera set on his microscope.
Participation cost (to be added to the congress registration):
€ 150,00 VAT included
Dopo i successi riscontrati negli anni precedenti, anche questo anno la
S.I.C.S.S.O. propone i wet lab avvalendosi dei tessuti di scarto provenienti
dalle banche degli occhi. La possibilità di esercitarsi su tessuti di scarto
delle banche consente un apprendimento più reale delle nuove tecniche
della chirurgia della cornea e della superficie oculare.
I corsi, della durata di un’ora, prevedono 9 o 10 partecipanti, che
utilizzeranno microscopi da tavolo. Il docente effettuerà la chirurgia con
un microscopio provvisto di telecamera.
Costo di partecipazione
(da aggiungere alla quota d’iscrizione al congresso):
€ 150,00 IVA inclusa
