Dear Colleagues,
it is a true pleasure and honour to be with you in
Trapani/Erice (Sicily) from September 15-18, 2008, for the
46th National Convention of the Italian Society for
Surgery of the Hand. The chosen theme for the principal
round table will be: Innovative Hand Surgery in Italy and
in the Countries of the Mediterranean Area.
Illustrious Italian and foreign surgeons are gathered here
to shed light on the most modern and present-day
reconstructive surgical techniques for injuries of the hand.
The convention will be enriched by instructional courses
and workshops devoted to specific themes and directed by
the most distinguished international researchers of the
chosen pathology. Some of the more significant subjectmatters (tissue reconstruction-skin, bones, tendons,
nerves, etc.; present-day and future experiences of the
upper limb reimplantation, total or in portion; bionic
upper limb, etc.) and modern expressions of our future
will be reviewed and debated.
Taking part in these discussions will be international basic
researchers, Italian and foreign surgeons and young
surgeons previously informed of the relevant themes
present for discussion at the principal round table.
One conventional session shall be managed and
moderated by young surgeons.
Every day during the lunch hours and in same lunch
Room, four exchange sessions between a renowned Head
of Hand Surgery and 10 colleagues (those with prior
registration) will be scheduled. This is designed to bring
the culture and experience of eminent hand surgeons to
those younger colleagues working in Italian and foreign
hospitals (two Italian and two of the Mediterranean Area).
In addition, we are trying to organize a session designated
to War traumatic pathology of the upper limb which exists
in the Middle East and in Africa.
Each of the countries of the Mediterranean Basin (Greece,
Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Lybia, Tunisia, Algeria,
Morocco, Spain, France) will have it’s own representation
in the conventional sessions. There everyone can highlight
his various experiences, surgical procedures and various
treatments of pathologies.
The members of the Italian Society of Hand Surgery and
their respected colleagues of the Mediterranean Area, with
their shared cultural heritage, will have the opportunity to
define the scientific, inventive and innovative role they
play in the current European technological context.
Personal contacts and scientific exchanges will continue, in a
more relaxed and friendly setting, in the course of the social
and cultural events which, in Sicily, are particularly festive
and rich in cultural surprises and conviviality
(archaeological tours, every dinner accompanied by folk and
ethnic music of the countries of the Mediterranean regions).
I wish you a warm welcome and a pleasant and fruitful
stay in the heart of the Mediterranean.
Antonino Messina
President of the 46th Italian Convention of Hand Surgery

HOST CITY FOR THE CONGRESS
Trapani, Erice and Trapani’s archeological zone, together form one of the most impressive
cultural areas in the Mediterranean.
Facing the ports of Trapani are situated the Egadi islands, of which one, Levanzo, embodies an
enchanting cave on whose walls you can behold ancient inscriptions and paleolithic drawings.
Further along we find a lagoon opening up to contain the Phoenician Island of Mothya and some
of Europe’s oldest salt marshes. Directly opposite, we discover the glistening white sand beaches of
San Vito lo Capo and the Rock formations of Scopello (faraglioni) – all of which frame the magnificent city of Trapani named by the 12th century poet, Al Idrisi, as “the white dove of the sea”.
The province is rich in historical monuments, such as the Temple of Segesta and Selinunte and
their archeological sites, and the Segestian Baths.
The Trapani area is notably famous for the wine cities of Marsala and Alcamo which holds the
honor of being the birthplace to the Italian language (by the poet Ciullo d’Alcamo).
The myth. Trapani (named by the Greeks, Drepanos; Drepanum by the Latins; Tarabanis by the
Arabs) represents the heart of Mediterranean civilization and culture where historical facts and legends mix with the “humanitas” of its inhabitants: here Virgilio tells of the landing of Anchise and of
his son, Enea, founder of Rome; here Enea sought refuge after having abbandoned the Punic Queen
Didone; here the Punic wars were fought which determined the Roman hegemony in the
Mediterranean; here in Marsala, Garibaldi landed with his One Thousand (Mille) beginning the reunification of Italy and here, in Calatafimi, he defeated the Borbonic army and conquered the capital
city of the island, Palermo.
Arising from the landscape is Trapani’s mountain on which emerges Erice, a medieval city dating back to the 12th century. Still well preserved in the midst of the massive walls and medieval doors
which encompasses this hill-town, are the Norman Castle, the Cathedral, the bell tower, ancient
squares with various Norman arches and all the characteristic narrow lanes which are paved with
river stones. In the Baroque age, the city was the seat of the ecclesiastic colleges (30 churches and
colleges) where the intellects and the nobles cultivated their learning on the western-most parts of
Sicily (from Palermo to Agrigento). Today, in the city is the seat of the Ettore Majorana Foundation.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
ORGANIZATION OF THE MAIN ROUND TABLE: CALL OF ABSTRACTS FOR PARTICIPATION
(September 17, 2008, Erice)
Foreword
The aim of this Round Table is to stimulate the different points of view of the attendees on some
subjects of the basic research (scientific challenge) and at the same time to rise the interest of
young surgeons in the different essential aspects of our work (conception of the basic and clinical
research; observation of its creative evolution; clinical study for its application on the patient; evaluation of its different possibilities of application; empirical approach; the necessity of collateral studies; randomized approach to obtain a very rational evaluation of results (clinical evidence).
REGULATIONS
The scientific Committee will select six original works published in the last two-three years about
different subjects of basic or clinical research; they will be presented at the main Round Table by
their own Authors.
The Scientific Committee will communicate the chosen subjects by december 2007 in the Congress
website and will invite the attendees who are interested in one of the six chosen basic researches,
to present their own work.
The specific original works of basic researches will be sent in advance to those who ask to
participate.
Each attendee will choose, among the six different original works, the one in which he is more interested, to his personal researches and experience on the subject.
The participant will present the project of the work that he intends to develop on one of the chosen subject in a writing of 200 words.
The project of work will focus on the applicative possibilities of the research or to different evaluations related to own clinical experiences.
Among the participants and on the basis of the quality of the project and the judgement of the
Scientific Committees six young surgeons will be selected (Italian and foreigners) to take part in the
Round Table.
The free inscription to the meeting will be granted to all selected surgeons.
The scientific relations, 10 min. each, according to different subject, will be presented in the following order: the Research work, the Relation by the younger surgeon and then the Senior surgeon’s
work.
At the end of the Panel the President and the two Moderators will present their conclusions.
INFORMAL SPECIAL LUNCHES
