Sportklinik Hellersen as a key player at the EOA Congress - participation at the express invitation of the organizers
The Sportklinik Hellersen made a strong international statement at the 77th annual congress of the Egyptian Orthopaedic Association (EOA) in Cairo: At the express invitation of the congress organizers, the specialist clinic presented itself as an international partner - and for the first time in the history of the congress, live operations from a German clinic were transmitted to Cairo. The Sportklinik Hellersen presented state-of-the-art orthopaedic medicine from Lüdenscheid to over 5,000 trade visitors.
Professional prelude: Workshop on modern endoprosthetics
To kick off the congress, head physician Dr. Stefan Schmidl led a specialist workshop on modern endoprosthetics. He presented current developments at the Center for Artificial Joint Replacement at the Sportklinik Hellersen and showed how innovative procedures, precision planning and new surgical technologies can sustainably improve patient care. The workshop was well attended and was intensively discussed by the international participants.
Two live surgeries from Lüdenscheid - surgical precision impresses the congress management
The highlight of the four-day specialist program were two live operations that were transmitted directly from the operating theatres of the Sportklinik Hellersen to Cairo: a robot-assisted knee joint operation with the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution and a cruciate ligament operation. The procedures were commented on and explained live in Cairo by the responsible chief physicians - Dr. Stefan Schmidl and Dr. Markus Leyh. The congress management - consisting of Prof. Mohamed Elashhab, Secretary General of the EOA Congress and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Benha University, and Prof. Dr. Adel Adawy, former Egyptian Minister of Health - was impressed by the technical precision, the clear structuring of the procedures and the surgical professionalism of the entire team.
International recognition and close partnership
The delegation from the Sportklinik Hellersen - consisting of Dirk Burghaus, CEO of the Sportklinik Hellersen, Dr. Stefan Schmidl, Head Physician Endoprosthetics, Dr. Markus Leyh, Head Physician Shoulder, Elbow, Knee Surgery and Traumatology, Senior Physician Sharief Saad and Ahmed Almousa, representative of the Sportklinik Hellersen in the Middle East, Africa and Asia - was personally welcomed in Cairo by the former Egyptian Minister of Health, Prof. Dr. Adel Adawy.
Prof. Mohamed Elashhab praised the collaboration as "groundbreaking for international orthopaedic exchange" and presented the delegation with a certificate of honor from the Egyptian Orthopaedic Association as special recognition.
Strong contribution to international networking
"Participating in the EOA Congress is an extraordinary opportunity to present our medical expertise and the capabilities of German cutting-edge medicine internationally. For us, international exchange is a key component in further improving quality and offering our patients the best possible care," says Dirk Burghaus.
