The Serbian Association for Emergency Surgery (SSES) was founded by the surgeons of the Clinic for Emergency Surgery of the University Clinical Center of Serbia (UKCS) in Belgrade in 2022, with the desire to affirm the work of Serbian surgeons in the field of emergency surgery and to network us with the world, all with the goal to improve the treatment and care of emergency surgical and severe injured patients.<\/p>

The association was founded in honor of the long history of emergency surgery in Serbia and the memory of our teachers, professors of surgery and other surgeons who founded this challenging field of surgery in Belgrade at the beginning of the 20th century, and then developed it through the work of the Clinic for Emergency Surgery in Belgrade and the emergency surgery in hospitals and health centers in Serbia.<\/p>

The aim of the Society is to support the current generation of surgeons who deal with emergency surgery and trauma in Serbia. An important goal is to connect and professionally integrate the Society into relevant domestic, European and international professional associations in this field. In the 21st century of internet globalization, we hope to establish strong ties with colleagues in the world, daily cooperation and to have quality professional and cultural interaction and thereby enrich our lives and profession. We believe that through this Society, Serbian surgeons will achieve the best for their patients, gain significant professional contacts, strengthen friendships and expand their horizons.<\/p>

Finally, we leave this Society to our young colleagues, who are just on the way to learning and acquiring skills in emergency surgery, and to all future generations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
