3rd Annual European Symposium on ROBOTIC ABDOMINAL WALL SURGERY

TH TH NOVEMBERRAWS2020 5 - Symposium 7 | | AZ Maria Middelares - | Ghent 1 WELCOME FACULTY

Dear colleagues,

It is with a heavy heart we welcome you to the 3rd Annual European Andrew de Beaux Edinburgh, UK Symposium on Robotic Abdominal Wall Surgery 2020 in Ghent Archana Ramaswamy Minneapolis, USA Belgium. Barbara Defoort Ghent, Belgium Bob Bloemendaal Delft, The After postponing the original date in June 2020 for five months we Conrad Ballecer Phoenix, USA had hoped to have COVID related travel restrictions would have David Chen Los Angeles, USA made a face to face meeting possible. But things turned out Eric Pauli Hershey, USA differently. After a first program rescheduling knowing US faculty Fien Decuypere Ghent, Belgium would not be able to attend physically we decided to go for a hybrid Filip Muysoms Ghent, Belgium meeting, partially live in person and partially virtual. Unfortunately Flavio Malcher New York, USA the recent trends in restrictions and pandemic control are not Georgina Dinescu Toulon, France favourable in Europe, prohibiting many of the European faculty also Hanna de la Croix Göteborg, Sweden to join us in Ghent. Hans Wilderjans Waas, Belgium Henry Hoffman Basel, Switzerland Despite the times we are living, we think it is important that medical Ihsan Inan Geneva, Switzerland education continues and will go with RAWS2020. This will Laurent Stainier Ottignies, Belgium be a live event for “the lucky few” in Ghent at the new venue in the Maarten Simons Amsterdam, The Netherlands previous Chapel at the Maria Middelares Hospital. We decided to Malene Just Busse Kolding, Denmark partner with MediaVentures, a world renowned audiovisual partner Manuel Lopez Cano Barcelona, Spain for congresses and live surgery sessions. A high quality live stream Matthias Allaeys Ghent, Belgium will be provided giving opportunity to many surgeons from remote Maxime Dewulf Maastricht, The Netherlands countries that would never be able to attend RAWS2020 in person to Pieter Pletinckx Ghent, Belgium take part in the symposium and the live discussions. Rossana Berta Pisa, Italy Victor Radu Bucharest, Romania Hoping that in person meetings will become the normal again, but Vlad Burdakov Voskresensk, Russia thinking the hybrid option with remote virtual participation is here to Wolfgang Reinpold Hamburg, Germany stay as well in the future, Yohann Renard Reims, France

With best personal regards,

The organizing committee

Archana Ramaswamy, Conrad Ballecer and Filip Muysoms
