Tbilisi hosted the 12th International Caucasian Congress on Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology — Kolkhida. The purpose of this event was the exchange of experience between leading experts in the field of aesthetic medicine, as well as the discussion of advanced, innovative approaches in plastic surgery and dermatocosmetology.
The journalists of estet-portal.com worked actively all the days of the Colchis conference, and did not miss the opportunity to find out from the organizers what moments of work were the most difficult, and thanks to which they managed to hold an event of such a high level.
There is no reason to worry when experience is behind you
The organizers of Colchis were satisfied with the event and willingly shared their impressions.
Marlen Andreevich, did you have to worry about organizing Colchis?
MS: We have many years of experience in holding such conferences, starting back in 2007. The 12th conference is already underway.
Because we have experience behind us, we didn't have much to worry about.
Personally, I am extremely pleased with these days, and I hope that our colleagues, having visited Colchis, will receive invaluable knowledge and appreciate our work.
Georgy Marlenovich, how is today's congress different from the previous ones?
GS: Today's congress is notable for its scale: more than 650 doctors are here today. These are doctors from 41 countries, and these are not only the countries of the CIS, Europe, Asia, but also such distant countries as Australia, Nigeria, South Africa, America, Canada, Brazil.
It's really important that the speakers can teach us something new! If there are no interesting reports — the congress will not be successful. Therefore, today we have 150 speakers, 4 halls — two for plastic surgery and two for dermatocosmetology. And in fact, the topics are very interesting, and the speakers — they are world famous doctors.
If you learn, then learn only from the best
Choice of speakers — this is the most difficult task. Only the best of the best attended Colchis. We managed to find out on what basis the selection of speakers was carried out, and how the organizers managed to attract the most famous specialists in plastic surgery and dermatocosmetology.
Konstantin Marlenovich, what did you focus on when organizing the scientific session of the congress?
CS: Today the audience is spoiled, everyone knows some standard methods, and everyone wants to hear exactly how a certain doctor works. This is what we emphasized in our scientific section, we wanted to do this not only in dermatology, but also in plastic surgery.
As you know, surgeons are not so willing to share their secrets and best practices. But we tried to choose those speakers who could freely talk about their experience.
Albina Anzorievna, could you share the secret of Colchis' success?
A. К.: Why is Colchis doomed to success? After all, we set ourselves the highest goals! We are checking if we can take and organize parallel broadcasts in 4 rooms — Can! Can we arrange a trichology session for the whole day with the presidents of various societies? countries — Can. We have two big sessions aesthetic gynecology — and it's very cool. Because a doctor who does not study — no longer a specialist, he ceases to be in demand!
Atmosphere — it is first of all people and their emotions
Iva Kuzanov was also pleased with the event and shared his impressions: “Colchis is gaining strength every year. This year there are about 600 invited experts. And in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, we have almost all the aces in this area — British, French, Italians, Brazilians, Egyptians, doctors from Turkey, and all of them – leading surgeons. This speaks of the popularity of Colchis, which is growing and growing every year.
Igor Rudenko joined in the words of delight, promising a great future for the congress: “I am delighted with the congress! I feel a very good, very positive atmosphere that now reigns in the ranks of doctors.
Reports are about difficult and insanely important things - but everything is very easy to perceive.
"I see the beginnings of such a good international congress, not inferior to those events that we all know well."
Colchis — it is an opportunity to constantly learn something new!
The participants of the conference, in complete delight, were in a hurry to talk about their emotions. For example, Eduard Ter-Teryan has been visiting Colchis for several years, and every time he discovers something new:
«Colchis this year, just like two and four years ago — gorgeous! This is a large amount of useful information from people who do not hesitate to share their experience, some novelties in aesthetic medicine, and it is very pleasant and always informative.
Vasily Khrapach noted the high level of the conference, and hastened to thank the organizers: “We are very grateful to the organizers, because Colchis — this is not just a conference that is on the same level with Western ones, but also much better than them. I think this is the best conference this year. This can be seen not only in the number of participants, although there are a lot of them here, but also in the quality of the specialists who came here.
The event made an indelible impression on all its participants. Colchis has become for many a place of wonderful discoveries, knowledge and new acquaintances.
