Up-to-date presentations and interactive case discussions on the first days were followed by three commented live surgeries and supported by the invited BIRG speakers Prof. Max Haerle (Markgröningen, D), Prof. Jörg van Schoonhoven (Bad Neustadt/Saale, D) and Dr. Davide Smarelli (Bergamo, I). This well-established BIRG event recommends itself for another repetition surely attracting more interested attendees.
