The II All-Russian Symposium on Surgical Endocrinology

Abstract

The symposium, held in Saratov from September 15 to 17, 1993, was devoted to two pressing problems: hormone-active pancreatic tumors and the surgical aspects of the treatment of complicated diabetes mellitus and related diseases. The successful choice of problems determined the great interest shown to the symposium not only by surgeons, but also by representatives of other medical specialties, who sent many applications for reports and took an active part in the symposium. Only nonresident participants of the symposium were about 50. Endocrinologists, surgeons, therapists, oncologists and other specialists of the Saratov and Saratov regions took part in the symposium.

The symposium was held on the initiative and with the direct participation of the head of the surgical endocrinology sections of the Russian Association of Endocrinologists, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, prof. A.P. Kalinina. The organizers of the symposium were MONIKI them. M.F. Vladimirsky and the Department of Faculty Surgery (Head - Prof. S. S. Slesarenko), Faculty of Medicine, Saratov Medical Institute. It is no coincidence that the Saratov Medical Institute was chosen as the venue for the symposium: for more than 30 years, various areas of endocrine surgery have been developed at its clinical bases. For many years, the pathogenesis, diagnosis and correction of diabetes mellitus in patients with various surgical pathologies has been studied at the faculty surgery department of the medical faculty of the Saratov Medical Institute. Numerous articles and dissertations on the basis of this department were devoted to these issues.
