Dear colleagues and friends of pediatric surgery

We are looking forward to welcome you in Basel on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Swiss Society of Pediatric Surgery.

Under the motto „Swiss Pediatric Surgery ³“ we would like to reflect upon our 50-year past, the very turbulent present and the upcoming challenging future in the field of pediatric surgery.

We would like to offer you a true feast of pediatric surgery, where you as our guests will substantially influence and contribute to our talks and debates. The customary prizes will be awarded, but this year many more surprise rewards will be waiting to find a winner. For example, the ceremonial presentation of the Prix Basilisk will take place in Basel for the first time this year. Moreover, the 3 top scorers during our congress games and morning sport activities will be awarded a prize in the course of the congress.

So, pack your bags and make your way to our congress venue “Brasilea” in Basel where 3 borders cross and let us ^raise our glasses to pediatric surgery. We are awaiting your visit with the triple potency of science, sports and culture!

Let us provide evidence that our guild knows how to celebrate in style and join the feast on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of our Society of Pediatric Surgery!

Sincerely yours,

Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Holland-Cunz
