Dear guests and colleagues,
The time is past, when merely surgical instruments and suture materials
played a dominant role in plastic surgery. New technological possibilities,
advances in molecular biology, genetics and nanotechnology open new
horizons in medicine, as well as in plastic surgery.
In recent years plastic surgery has undergone great changes in
technologies, devices and procedures. I hope that our meeting will be
successful in defining the view of the main scientific topics in question,
and in creating the consensus of the discussed problems for the next
period. I know that each specialist can enrich plastic surgery with his own
experience and new knowledge, and every meeting of specialists is an
occasion to exchange views and experience. The meetings can not be
substituted by scientific journals. Published papers are presentations
without an immediate possibility to express one’s attitude and to
exchange opinions between the author and the recipients. In addition,
there is new knowledge presented at congresses that is not yet generally
accepted.
Our meeting will be an opportunity for participants to assume an attitude
towards debated topics in an easy and friendly atmosphere. I do hope
that our town Bratislava will offer comfort and ideal conditions to all
participants of the congress. Bratislava is situated on the both banks of the
Danube, the largest Central European river and played an important role
in the European history as a large intersection of roads from the south to
the north and from the west to the east. In the distant past the area of
Bratislava was a part of the Roman Empire.
I look forward to welcoming you in Bratislava.

SLOVAKIA
Slovakia, landlocked republic in Central Europe,
bounded on the northwest by the Czech Republic,
on the north by Poland, on the east by Ukraine, on
the south by Hungary, and on the southwest by
Austria. Bratislava is its capital and largest city.
Slovakia was considered part of Greater Hungary
until 1918, when it united with the Czech lands of
Bohemia and Moravia, in addition to a small part of
Silesia, to form Czechoslovakia. In 1939, shortly
before the start of World War II, Slovakia declared its
independence under pressure from Germany, but in
1945 it was reunited with the rest of Czechoslovakia. From 1948 until 1989 Czechoslovakia was
ruled by a Soviet-style Communist regime. In 1993 the country broke apart, and Slovakia and the
Czech Republic became independent.
Slovakia is known for its numerous and impressive mountain ranges. Many of the country’s
mountains give way to rolling hills and river valleys, where agriculture, winemaking, and livestock
raising are practiced. Slovakia’s mountainous terrain has also influenced settlement patterns
within the country.
The Carpathian Mountains, a major mountain system of central Europe, extend across much of
northern and northwestern Slovakia and encompass the Little Carpathians, the White
Carpathians, and the Tatry, which is the highest Carpathian range. The High Tatry mountains
contain the country’s highest peak, Gerlachovsk Štt, which rises to an elevation of 2655 m (8711
ft). The High Tatry also contain one of Slovakia’s largest national parks and are a popular place
for skiing and hiking.
Southwestern Slovakia is dominated by the Danubian Lowlands, a fertile region that extends to
the Danube River on the Hungarian border. Much of the country’s agriculture is produced in
this area; Bratislava is its main industrial center.
Slovakia also contains a number of interesting and unusual caves. Among them are the Demnovsk
caves, a series of caves linked by underground lakes and
waterfalls, located in central Slovakia; and the Domica cave,
known for its vaulted roof and colored stalactites, located near
the Hungarian border in eastern Slovakia.
Slovakia is a member of the United Nations (UN), the Council
of Europe (CE), Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) and the Central European Initiative
(CEI), a group promoting regional political and economic
cooperation.Slovak Republic is a full member of NATO and
member of European Union. The currency in Slovakia is Euro.

BRATISLAVA
Not only is Bratislava the largest city in Slovakia but also serves as the state capital.
Furthermore, Bratislava is the seat of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, the
Government of the Slovak Republic, national ministries and the other central bodies of the
state administration of the Slovak Republic. It is situated in the centre of Europe in the
southwestern part of Slovakia.
It borders with Hungary in the south and with Austria in the west. The town spreads like a
fan on both banks of the Danube River, and at the foot of the Low Carpatians. Historical
points of interest include an 11th-century Gothic cathedral that was restored in the second
half of the 19th century; a former royal palace of Hungary, on a hill overlooking the city; a
13th-century Franciscan church; the town hall, a 13th-century edifice; the Comenius
University in Bratislava (1919); the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava (1938); and the
Slovak Academy of Sciences (1953).
Founded before the 10th century, the city was
known originally as Pressburg. Strong fortifications
erected during the 12th century gave it strategic
importance; from 1541 to 1784 it was the capital
of Hungary.
In 1805, during the Napoleonic War, the Peace of
Bratislava was signed in the Primate's Palace
following the defeat of the armies of Francis I, the
Austrian emperor and Alexander I, the Russian tsar
by Napoleon's army at Austerlitz (Slavkov). When
Czechoslovakia was created in 1919 after World War I, the city was renamed Bratislava and
made capital of the province of Slovakia.

SOCIAL PROGRAM
OPENING CEREMONY
The Opening Ceremony will take place
on 23rd September 2010, at Bratislava
Town Hall at the impressive Mirror
Hall and it will be accompanied by
cocktail buffet and music.
Originally the site of a towered house
in the 14th century, the old town hall
arose in the 15th century by
connecting several burgher houses,
and then went through several
reconstructions in the course of the
centuries. After the earthquake of
1599, it was reconstructed in
Renaissance style, while the town-hall
tower was rebuilt in baroque style in the 18th century. In 1912 the rear wing was constructed
in neo-renaissance style from the side of the courtyard, and neo-gothic style from the side
of the Primacial square.
The town-hall tower was of defensive nature. At the bottom, you can find a table with the
date of February 1850, marking the high water level when the Danube flooded. Left of the
Gothic window, there is immured a cannon ball commemorating the attacks of Napolenonic
troops in 1809. At the corner of the tower, the statue of Madonna of 1676 is located.
Decisions of the assembly, royal decrees and orders of the town council were announced
from the balcony of the tower in the past. Note a fresco of an old man of 1533 as well as a
statuette of the Hungarian King - St. Ladislaus.
CONFERENCE DINNER
