This workshop is designed to review state-of-the-art information on the diagnosis and management of severely injured patients. The symposium provides an ideal mix of the traditional standard-of-care principles with cutting edge, forward-moving practices. It explores issues related to resuscitation and surgical technique.

Organisers:
The European Society for Trauma & Emergency Surgery (ESTES) was formed in 2007 by the merger of the European Association for Trauma & Emergency Surgery and the European Trauma Society. Since then it has continued to promote best practice in the provision of emergency and trauma surgery from pre-hospital care through diagnosis, intervention and intensive care to rehabilitation. This is underpinned by international collaboration, scientific research, development and delivery of training courses, and the work of specialist sections.
The International Association for Trauma Surgery and Intensive Care (IATSIC) is an integrated society within the broader International Society of Surgery (ISS/SIC). IATSIC was established in 1989 and has grown and developed into the most important international professional association in its field. Its membership comprises trauma surgeons, emergency surgeons, acute-care surgeons and intensivists from every corner of the world.
The Section for Surgical Research at the Medical University Graz is responsible for special teaching and research tasks and is obliged to assure safe and rational use of the technical and other infrastructure. Researchers from various departments of the Medical University pursue their many scientific projects, and the Section hosts special teaching activities including labs, proseminars, seminars and postgraduate training.
