The SCS Annual Meeting 2025 will allow the speakers to upload handouts of their presentations, which will be made available to all participants after the Annual Meeting. All basic organizations are asked to have at least one session that is based on the congress motto: Guardians of the Scalpel: Securing Excellence … in adapted professional pathways, …in patient care & outcome, …in surgical techniques vs. emerging new non-surgical approaches.
