Dear colleagues, dear friends,

It is my great pleasure and honour to invite you to the Brno Flap Dissection Course, taking place in Brno, Czech Republic, from September 20-23, 2025.

The course has been designed to meet the needs of residents and proffesionals in plastic surgery who are eager to master the principles and practise of flap dissection, as well as experienced surgeons looking to expand their expertise in reconstrustive microsurgery.

We are proud to welcome four world-renowned experts- J. P. Hong, Marco Innocenti, Bohdan Pomahač and Jian Farhadi- each a leader in a distinct area of plastic surgery. Over the course of four days, they will become your mentors and guides.

All of our exceptional guests will be present in an anatomical lab and participate in the teaching process in person! The course will be held at the University Centre for Surgical Anatomy providing fresh-frozen cadaver specimens enhanced by an advanced technique of colored silicone vascular injections emphasizing the vascular anatomy of the flaps and facilitating dissection. A hands-on approach will be used with no more than two participants per cadaver specimen.

Including special topic - breast and facial reconstruction (including VCA transplantation), orthoplastic surgery, robotic techniques, and complex extremity reconstructions, this course will immerse you in some of the most dynamic and future-shaping topics in reconstructive microsurgery.

A key component of the course is the Workshop on Preoperative Diagnostics of Perforator Flaps, hosted at SIMU—one of the most advanced simulation centers in Europe, located at the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University. This workshop offers an opportunity to explore imaging methods and gain hands-on experience in vascular mapping, a crucial element in modern flap planning.

Through expert-led lectures, live anatomical dissections, and personal mentorship, you will gain deep insight into the principles, techniques, and innovations that are shaping the future of plastic and reconstructive surgery worldwide.

We sincerely hope you will accept our invitation and join us in Brno—to sharpen your microsurgical skills, connect with inspiring colleagues from around the world, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of South Moravia, a region known for its rich culture, fine wine, and warm hospitality.

We look forward to seeing you there!
