Welcome Serbia, as new FESSH member country
Serbian Society for Hand Surgery (SSHS) was founded in 2013. Professor Marko Bumbaširević is the founder and President of the Society as well as FESSH delegate.
To date, SSHS counts 29 members. It is a small but very active society with interest in the training of surgeons involved in Hand Surgery.
Training center and departments are based at Orthopedic and Traumatology University Clinic of the Clinical Center of Serbia, at the same place where it all started. Two departments are covering all kinds of hand trauma, replantation surgery, hand pathology
including tumors, congenital malformation, rheumatology, reconstructive procedures. Hand surgery is closely related to microsurgery.
In the near future, SSHS is hoping, based on its experience in planning and organizing of large science events, to have the opportunity to host FESSH meeting in Belgrade.
