Reconstructive Surgeons (KSPRS) was established in 1966, has
more than 2,000 plastic surgeon members, and is the largest
organization of its kind in Asia. The KSPRS aims primarily to
enhance academic training and the development of the plastic
surgical skills of its Korean members while contributing to the
broader international community of plastic surgeons through
initiatives such as its English-language journal, Archives of Plastic
Surgery. KSPRS is the leading plastic surgical society in Asia,
and in this role, it has taken the lead in developing collaborations
with other related plastic surgical societies and disseminating
information on the procedures popular among Asian patients.
In recent years, members of KSPRS have been innovating
aesthetic plastic surgical skills such as blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty,
facial contouring surgery with jaw surgery, breast augmentation
and reduction, and liposuction. Likewise, reconstructive plastic
surgical strategies such as supermicrosurgery, hand surgery, and
cleft and craniofacial surgery have been revolutionized by a number
of Korean plastic surgeons.
Because further innovation in all these areas would be maximized
through collaboration with the plastic surgical associations of other
nations, we see the invitation from ASPS to be the 2013 guest
nation as a great opportunity. We wish to extend our sincere
invitation to the other nations represented at this ASPS meeting to
share each other's knowledge and cooperate more closely through
joint events, publications, and other initiatives.
