21st Virtual Conference “The Future of Surgery”
Welcome to the Next-Generation Supermicrosurgery Consortium. Headed by Dr. Isao Koshima, the Consortium was established to advance and promote the field of supermicrosurgery, from both clinical and industrial perspectives. MIRAI Medtech is a funding support partner.Since 2020, the Consortium have been holding regularly scheduled Virtual Conferences in Japan. Experts in medicine and engineering are invited to discuss cutting-edge medical treatments and technologies with one another, by challenging the paradigm separating specialties. Our conferences typically host about fifty individuals. Participants are surgeons and clinicians, researchers, and device engineers. We also encourage and welcome participation by manufacturers and dealers of medical devices. During 2021, the Next-Generation Supermicrosurgery Consortium started English-based virtual events for international participants.

Summary:
The hands play such a critical role that they are often referred to as the “second brain.” Unlike other organs, they are governed by an extensive area of the brain, allowing for intricate movements and sensory perception. This enables the hands to receive and transmit a wealth of information. Additionally, the hands are equipped with a dense network of fine neural structures, which support their high functionality. However, when nerves are damaged, recovery is often limited, potentially impacting daily life.
In this lecture, we will introduce innovative treatment methods for cases where nerve recovery is challenging, such as “nerve transfer” and “nerve bypass” procedures. These techniques take advantage of neural plasticity—the ability of nerves to form new connections—and the potential for axons (the pathways that transmit information from nerve cells) to extend in multiple directions, aiming for a network-based sensory reconstruction. Furthermore, we frequently employ vascularized nerve grafting using microsurgical techniques to achieve favorable outcomes. This lecture will also discuss the methods for network-based reconstruction, the harvesting process for vascularized nerve grafts, and their potential applications.
President Isao Koshima (Professor of the department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Hiroshima University Hospital) of this research society will present the latest findings and global trends related to the invited lecture.
After the lecture, there will be a lively online panel discussion with the speakers.
We hope you will join us for this informative event!
