Η εξέλιξη της τεχνολογίας στον τομέα της χειρουργικής απαιτεί τη συνεχή παρακολούθηση κι εκπαίδευση του σύγχρονου χειρουργού στα νέα εργαλεία και τεχνικές μεθόδους, που βελτιώνουν την αντιμετώπιση του ασθενούς. Η εισαγωγή των ραδιοσυχνοτήτων (Radiofrequency Ablation), του Laser και άλλων μορφών ενέργειας στην καθημερινή χειρουργική πρακτική, ενισχύει την κλασσική χειρουργική και καθορίζει το μέλλον της. Είναι ιδιαίτερη τιμή η συμμετοχή μου ως μέλος στον σημαντικότερο παγκοσμίως οργανισμό ASLMS – American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery.
The American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery is the world’s largest scientific organization dedicated to promoting research, education and high standards of clinical care in the field of medical laser applications. It provides a forum for the exchange of scientific information and participation in communicating the latest developments in laser medicine and surgery to clinicians, research investigators, government and regulatory agencies, and the public.
ASLMS supports the mission and vision by:
– Conducting the Annual Conference which allows for the multidisciplinary exchange of information on the latest discoveries, applications and research involving medical lasers and energy based sources.
– Providing Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, the Society’s official journal, the most prestigious and widely circulated peer reviewed scientific journal dedicated to basic and applied aspects of laser and energy-based device therapy and diagnosis.
– Supporting research projects designed to foster the development and use of lasers and other related technologies in medical and surgical applications.
– Establishing practice guidelines and safety standards for physician and non-physician use of lasers and related energy-based technologies.
– Providing in-service education and testifying before regulatory authorities including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
– Sponsoring professional networking opportunities to clinicians and suppliers.
– Supporting regional, national and international meetings of laser and energy-based health care professionals.
– Disseminating information for the public about laser and energy-based device use that enhances patient care.
