Abstract

Introduction: The 2nd Albanian Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery and the 3rd International Scientific Conference of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Tetovo, was a great success, held between November 8–10, 2018, in the historic city of Ohrid, Republic of North Macedonia.

This interdisciplinary conference was a vital forum for the exchange of contemporary scientific information, clinical practice, and trailblazing research in emergency surgery, trauma, and broader medical science, offering hope for the future of these necessary specialities.

The co-located Congress, which reflected the breadth and range of influence of this convention, attracted over 500 delegates. This multi-cultural audience included surgeons, emergency physicians, anesthesiologists, intensivists, radiologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from throughout the Western Balkans and Europe.

More than 90 oral and poster presentations were presented, covering significant areas such as damage control surgery, advanced trauma life support, non-operative management of solid organ injuries, polytrauma protocols, and also the harmonization of imaging modalities in the emergency environment.

Special focus was given to regional trauma system development, cross-border collaboration, and medical education and research through simulation and clinical research. This conference, a demonstration of Albania's and North Macedonia's commitment, testified to their increased commitment to their trauma system improvement, emergency surgical care quality, and academic partnerships.

High-level discussion and collaborative workshops underscored harmonized protocol implementation, international standards, and continued professional development. The Congress concluded on a consensus vision that highlighted common goals and the potential of collaboration in the future.

The vision is to enhance trauma care delivery in the region through sustained scientific cooperation, inter-disciplinary exchange, and investment in educational capacity and institution-building.

It was another step towards establishing a regional centre for trauma and emergency surgical sciences for Southeast Europe.
