PAST ACTIVITIES

The object of the Foundation is to promote and organize various forms of teaching according to a continuous post-graduate training programme in the field of Plastic Surgery.

To carry out this programme, the Foundation established a formal affiliation with the Carlo Erba Foundation, a prestigious Milanese Medical Organization to share a common cultural and scientific experience. Similar relationships were later established with other Milanese Organizations to carry on this programme.

Outstanding researchers and clinicians from all over the world were invited to hold conferences and lectures in the field of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery under the aegis of the Fondazione Sanvenero Rosselli.

PRESENT ACTIVITIES

Since 1997 the training programme with formal lectures has been discontinued, in favour of courses mainly devoted to Aesthetic Surgical procedures.
The courses are held on a regular basis. Their objective is to demonstrate both operatively and through didactic sessions the latest innovations and techniques in Aesthetic Surgery.
They provide a forum for audience participation with the well established Q&A formula. Presentation of difficult cases, complications with commentary by the course Director and faculty members is an integral part of the panel, which takes place each time.

Up until now course directors were:
Gilbert Aiach (Paris), Alfred Berger (Hannover), Paolo Castelnuovo (Pavia), Claude Dardour (Paris), Olivier De Frahan (Paris), Helga Eder (Bruxelles), Frank Elliott (Atlanta), Axel-Mario Feller (München), Alain Fogli (Marsiglia), Antonio Fuente del Campo (Mexico), Marco Gasparotti (Roma), Gilbert Gradinger (San Francisco), Ronald Gruber (Oakland), Sam Hamra (Dallas), Carl Hartrampf (Atlanta), Rod Hester (Atlanta), Glenn Jelks (New York), Steven Kroll (Houston), Claude Lassus (Nice), Claude Le Louarn (Paris), William Little (Washington), P. Francesco Mancini (Madrid), Daniel Marchac (Paris), Serge Morax (Paris), Guy Müller (Strasburgo), Satoru Nagata (Tokyo), Foad Nahai (Atlanta), Carlos Sampaio Goes (Sao Paulo), Dean M. Toriumi (Chicago), Bryant Toth (San Francisco), Frank Trepsat (Lyon).
The topic treated were: blepharoplasty, face lifting, rhinoplasty, mammaplasty, breast reconstruction, liposuction, etc.

Thanks to the high quality of the programme, courses are well attended by participants coming from different Italian and European cities. Official languages are English and Italian.

The Courses are accreditated by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ECM) of the Italian Ministry of Health to provide continuing medical education for surgeons.
