Message of the Federal President of the Republic of Austria
I am very pleased that the annual meeting of the two largest Euro‐
pean associations of paediatric surgery will be held jointly for the
first time and that, as venue for this congress, Graz, the capital of the
Province Styria has been chosen.
The joint congress of the European Paediatric Surgeons’ Association
(EUPSA) and the British Association of Paediatric Surgery (BAPS) is
sending an important signal, as it shows the public that there is great
interest among the experts to provide even better medical treat‐
ment for the young patients in the future.
The great steps forward that have been made in developing technologies and surgical tech‐
niques over the past decades have had an impact also in the very sensitive field of paediatric
surgery.
I am glad that committed and highly competent specialists together with experienced organ‐
isers were able to initiate this joint congress and – as is also plain to see for non‐experts – set
up a very interesting programme.
I thank all those working for the benefit of children and adolescents with dedication and
medical competence and extend a warm welcome to them, in particular, to our guests from
abroad.
I wish all participants inspiring discussions and an interesting stay in the beautiful city of Graz.
Dr. Heinz Fischer
The Federal President of the Republic Austria

Message from the Federal Minister for Science and Research

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
As the Federal Minister for Science and Research, first of all I take
great pleasure to greet you at the Joint Congress of the EUPSA and
BAPS Associations.
During this important scientific Congress not only young researchers
will be the centre of attention with the presentations of the Young

Investigator Award and Peter Paul Rickham Prize, but also interna‐
tionally renowned Paediatric Surgeons will be honoured with the prestigious Rehbein Medal
and Denis Browne Medal for their outstanding contributions to the field of paediatric surgery
by both host Associations. I am delighted to note that numerous special courses will be of‐
fered during this Joint meeting, and have taken special note of the one important course on
manuscript preparation and submission being offered to researchers which will enable them
to improve their scientific writing skills.
At the meeting there will be ample opportunities to discuss and evaluate the latest diagnostic
and therapeutic strategies along with the new scientific breakthroughs that have recently
evolved in the field of paediatric and adolescent surgery. During this congress, the World
Federation of Associations of Paediatric Surgery will also hold their Annual Meeting, which
further adds to the importance of this Congress.
I wish fruitful and meaningful discussions on the latest experimental results as well as a suc‐
cessful exchange of ideas and experience.

Dr. Johannes Hahn
Federal Minister of Science and Research

Message of the Governor of Styria

Our children and young people are a major responsibility as they are
the future of our society. This implies that every investment and ef‐
fort as regards maintaining their health or treating their ills must be a
particular obligation to all people concerned.
As a counterpart to paediatric and youth medicine, the special field of
paediatric surgery deals with all surgery‐related problems that occur
between birth and the age of 18. Whereby the main focus lies on
congenital malformations of all kinds, injuries to the skeletal system
and soft tissue as well as dysfunctions of the oesophagus, the gastrointestinal and urinary
tract, combined with state‐of‐the‐art diagnostic and surgical technologies. These topics will
again be the key issues of scientific lectures and presentations during the largest Congress of
Paediatric Surgery held in Europe so far. The fact that the congress will be held in Graz fills us,
and the Clinical Department of Paediatric Surgery of the University Clinic which was responsi‐
ble for the organisation, with great pride. For the first time, more than 700 experts are ex‐
pected to participate in the congress which will be hosted by two eminent scientific societies,
namely the European Paediatric Surgeons Association and the British Association of Paediatric
Surgeons.
The very rigorous selection process of the abstracts presented aimed at ensuring a particularly
high scientific level. In addition, international lectures, a specific session for young researchers
and prizes for the best presentations will be the focal points. Particular highlights of the con‐
gress are numerous events for further education, the first part of exams for the European
Board of Surgery Qualification, the presence of representatives from three of the most
prominent international journals of paediatrics, and a ceremony for conferring the highest
awards the two societies offer for outstanding performance in this discipline.
The organisation and realisation of the congress lie in the experienced hands of the team
around Univ.‐Prof. Dr. Michael E. Höllwarth of the Clinical Department of Paediatric Surgery at
the Medical University Graz, for which we would like to thank him and the two scientific so‐
cieties hosting this congress most especially. I wholeheartedly welcome all participants of the
Congress of Paediatric Surgery to Styria’s capital Graz, which, for a few days, will become the
European Centre of this specialist field, and wish you a rewarding scientific and personal ex‐
perience and a pleasant stay in Styria.

Mag. Franz Voves
Governor of Styria

Message from the Mayor of Graz

Graz’ highly developed infrastructure is used all year long for
congresses; it helps people from all over the world to get to
know the Styrian capital and many of them are glad to come
back. The inhabitants of Graz, on the other hand, have come
to appreciate their international guests and by no means
would they like to do without this valuable addition to the
cityscape.
Even if it seems that one congress starts right after the other one ends, some events will al‐
ways stand out. With this I mean meetings like yours. It not only distinguishes itself by its size
and top‐class speakers and participants but also by its topic. Since there is nothing more im‐
portant than putting one’s efforts into the service of future generations.

I would like to thank you all for your efforts and the Department for Pediatric and Adolescent
Surgery for organizing this congress. I cordially welcome you to Graz and hope that you will
find time, apart from your professional work, to stroll through our city and enjoy the hospital‐
ity of its inhabitants. I can assure you that it’s worth it.

Mag. Siegfried Nagl
Major of Graz

Message from the Rector of the Medical University of Graz

Dear Colleagues,
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am looking forward to welcoming you to the first joint congress of
BAPS and EUPSA in Graz! It is a great honour to have this Paediatric
Surgery Congress in Graz, which is – for the first time in history – a
joint congress of the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons (BAPS)
and the European Paediatric Surgeons’ Association (EUPSA). More
than 700 experts from all over the world will discuss latest scientific
findings and developments in the field of paediatric surgery.
Paediatric surgery arose in the middle of the 20th century as the surgical care of birth defects
required novel techniques and methods. It covers diagnostics, therapy and aftercare of surgi‐
cal diseases from birth to the age of 18. One of the main challenges of today’s paediatric sur‐
gery is the correction of any congenital deformities with the help of modern diagnostics and
surgery.
The programme is a very manifold one ‐ there will be oral and poster presentations, lectures,
and numerous opportunities for continuing education. One of the highlights will be the
awards ceremony of the Young Investigator Award/Peter Paul Rickham Prize. The purpose of
this award is to fund young and promising scientists to encourage and promote quality re‐
search.
At the Medical University of Graz, dedicated to sustainable health research, we are proud to
hold one of the first university departments of paediatric surgery, dating back to the fifties of
the last century. I would like to thank the local organizing committee, particularly Prof. Dr.
Michael Höllwarth and his team, for bringing this distinguished congress to Graz.
I am sure that Graz is a perfect place for this “historical” congress, featuring a charming and
picturesque historic downtown as well as state‐of‐the‐art congress‐infrastructure and modern
cultural life.
I wish all participants an exciting time in Graz and an interesting and successful congress of
BAPS and EUPSA!
With best regards,

Univ.‐Prof. Dr. Josef Smolle
Rector of the Medical University

Message from the Medical Director of the University Hospital, Graz

On behalf of the directory board of the university hospital of Graz it is
a great pleasure for me to welcome you to this international congress
of EUPSA and BAPS.
The university hospital of Graz offers in–hospital treatment for more
than 80.000 patients per year (400.000 out‐patients per year, 1.2 mio.
visits). To cater for this, the university hospital of Graz consists of 71
organisational units (20 university clinics, 44 clinical departments, as well as some institutes
and other organisational units) with 1.550 systematised beds. As a central university hospital,
we take care of more than 1.000.000 people in the south of Austria.
The department of paediatric and adolescent surgery plays a leading role in the surgical
treatment of children and adolescents in the largest area of south‐east Austria. Therefore, it is
a great opportunity for us to be able to host this congress here.
While participating in this meeting, you will have the opportunity to meet colleagues and
friends and to discuss the latest developments in scientific research and clinical practice re‐
garding paediatric and adolescent surgery. We hope that you will enjoy our hospitality and
the quality of this exciting international congress.
Moreover, we would also hope that you will find the time to enjoy our beautiful city of Graz
and the surrounding uplands of Styria.
Univ.Prof. Dr. Gernot Brunner
Medical Director of the University Hospital

BAPS President’s Message

On behalf of the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons, I
welcome you to this joint EUPSA – BAPS Congress. Following a very
successful and enjoyable congress in Salamanca last July, BAPS are
delighted to be in Graz this year, another historic and very beautiful
European city. The local organising team, under the guidance of
Michael Hoellwarth, have arranged a glittering programme of social
events to complement the excellent scientific programme and work‐
shops.
The international enthusiasm for this joint congress was best illustrated by the record number
of abstracts submitted in January from all parts of the world. Many authors will have been
disappointed as the programme can only include the higher scoring submissions. The pro‐
gramme combines the best traditions of EUPSA and BAPS, with an important prize giving on
Saturday morning and four invited lectures, which have proved very popular in recent years.
BAPS are particularly pleased that Joseph Vacanti and Thom Lobe have kindly agreed to de‐
liver this year’s JPS and Storz Lectures.
This is the second visit of BAPS to Austria, having enjoyed hospitality in Vienna 24 years ago.
However, this year’s congress will be especially memorable for being in Graz and for being the
first joint congress with EUPSA. I am most grateful to the many people in Graz and on the ex‐
ecutives of both Associations, who have worked hard to ensure a most successful congress.
I am writing this at the end of April and news is breaking of a possible pandemic of Swine flu.
We must trust that this will be contained and not inhibit anyone from travelling to this healthy
city, once the capital of Austria.
Enjoy Graz; enjoy this joint congress.

Mr. David P. Drake, MB, BChir, FRCS, DCH
President of BAPS

EUPSA President’s Message

Dear Members and guests,
EUPSA and BAPS join their forces for the first time in this 2009
Congress in Graz. EUPSA contributes a large membership with
a high proportion of young people and a rapidly evolving
experience of successful congresses.
The BAPS brings to Graz a seemingly large body of members
and a long and brilliant tradition as organizer of the most
international congresses in our specialty. Graz is a perfect city for this task and Prof. Höllwarth
and his experienced team will certainly make the organization perfect. It will be difficult not to
produce a superb joint meeting!.
The scientific committee was on this opportunity a combination of those of both associations
and the choice of papers and posters, which was understandably tough with more than 900
abstracts, has been very selective producing a complete and high‐quality programme.
Enjoy the city, the congress and the social activities on this unique opportunity for attending
both large European Congresses at the same time. I hope that this combination will be
possible again in the future.

Professor Juan A. Tovar MD PhD
President of the EUPSA

Message from the President of the
Austrian Society of Paediatric Surgery

Dear friends and colleagues,
the future of a society lies in the next generation. Therefore, paediat‐
ric medicine is of utmost importance and has a high socioeconomic
relevance. Excellent paediatric surgery is a prerequisite to achieve
this goal.
Paediatric surgeons diagnose, treat and manage the surgical prob‐

lems of the fetus, newborns, children and adolescents and also are strongly involved in reha‐
bilitation and prevention programmes. Paediatric surgeons are striving for excellence
combining a fund of medical information, mastery of technical skills and focussing on the very
details required to manage a patients complex illness properly.
It is a great honour and privilege for the Austrian Society of Paediatric and Adolescent Surgery
to welcome you all to this first collaborative congress of the British Association of Paediatric
Surgeons and the European Paediatric Surgeons Association, the two largest European scien‐
tific communities of Paediatric Surgery. It is EUPSA’s second congress in Austria and for the
first time a conjoint meeting with BAPS.
This conference promises to be a very special one. Not only will it provide a broad spectrum of
new medical knowledge and latest scientific findings dealing with basic research, general
paediatric surgery, congenital malformations, traumatology and urology. It will also give us
the opportunity to greet old friends, develop new friends and celebrate together.
I thank the distinguished planning committee and in particular its chairman, Michael
Höllwarth, whose dedication, energy and imagination gave birth to this unique meeting.
I am very much looking forward to meeting you in the historical beautiful city of Graz.
Let us come together, talk and learn.
Univ.Doz. Dr. Günter Fasching
President of the Austrian Society of Paediatric and Adolescent Surgery

Message from the Congress Chairman

Dear EUPSA and BAPS Delegates, welcome to Graz!
It is a great honour for the members of my Department and for the
Austrian Association of Paediatric Surgeons to host the first joint
Congress of BAPS and EUPSA in Graz. In 1995 Austria has previously
hosted paediatric surgeons from many countries at the 1st European
Congress of Paediatric Surgery, also in Graz, and the BAPS organized
the Annual Congress in 1984 in Vienna. For this joint meeting, an ide‐
ally located Congress Venue has been selected in the centre of the
old town, with most of the historical sites, places of interest and so‐
cial programme events within walking distance.
Graz is a friendly and prosperous town that has flourished and grown around the Schloßberg
hill since the middle ages. The variations in architectural styles that create an unique atmos‐
phere got recognition by the UNESCO to include Graz to its World Cultural Heritage List.
The cultural life of the city is rich and full of contrasting flavours. Worth mentioning is the
“Styriarte” festival of classical music that gained international acclamations under the famous
conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Also, the “Steirischer Herbst” festival is one of Europe`s
most prestigious event that encompasses the rich cultural scene as much as other classical
cultural functions. The year 2003 was very special for Graz when it was elected as the
“Cultural Capital of Europe”.
Graz is an important centre for education with approximately 35,000 students enrolled in this
University city. Out of the 4 Universities, Karl‐Franzens University is the oldest which was
founded in 1585. This was followed by the establishment of the University of Technology in
1811, the University of Music and Drama and the Medical University in 2002 (prior to 2002
the present Medical University was the Medical Faculty of the Karl‐Franzens‐University).
In order to experience what is on offer in Graz, the Social Programme and the Programme for
Accompanying Persons has been carefully selected to offer visits to some of the famous
attractions within the city and the surrounding county. For those participants who have
interests in sport activities, a lovely bicycle tour along the River Mur with a visit to an old river
mill is being offered. A further highlight of the social programme is certainly going to be the
Post‐Congress Tour to Lake Wolfgang that includes visits to cultural and social attractions.
The Programme Committee has chosen a large number of postgraduate teaching activities
and without doubt the scientific programme will cover many recent advances in the field of
paediatric surgery. We look forward to a scientifically and socially fruitful and rewarding
Congress. As local organizers we will do our best to make your stay in Graz a memorable
event for years to come.

Social Programme
Wednesday, June 17
Welcome Reception by the Governor of Styria at Eggenberg Castle (20.00)
A journey into the Cosmos! Time portrayed in a building. That is how one could describe
Schloss Eggenberg, erected in 1625 – 56.
365 windows, 31 rooms on each floor, 24 state rooms with 52 doors and, in all, 60 windows, 4
corner towers – all allusions to time, to the seasons, to weeks, days, hours, minutes. This
number symbolism based on the then new Gregorian calendar is the architectural programme
of the palace.
Schloss Eggenberg is inseparably bound up with its park which has changed with the taste of
the times. In the mid‐19th century, it was converted into the landscape garden of the present.
The majestically stalking peacocks are a special attraction. And a refashioned space of the
park – the Planetengarten. Of course, it continues the iconography of the palace.
Free of charge

The Old University has been available as an event venue since 2005. The 400‐year old building
has been restored to its former glory. The completely renovated late Baroque hall, the Aula,
lends itself to external events and official functions. Not only the technical infrastructure,
which includes air conditioning and the latest lighting technology, but also the comprehensive
media equipment are state‐of‐the‐art. The technical set‐up has been well concealed behind
the magnificent historic frescoes that adorn the hall. In addition to the hall, a bar on the
ground floor can be booked for smaller or more intimate events.

Annual Dinner in the Monastery of Friars Minor Conventuals (19.30) (address: Mariahilfer‐
platz 3, in the old city, within walking distance), see map on page 22
Event centre with Graz’s largest and most beautiful Baroque hall. The building complex of the
Minorite monastery is situated close to the new Kunsthaus and the Island in the river Mur.
The main entrance, with its imposing stairway and stone balustrades, gives visitors a hint of
what lies ahead – a splendid hall hung with Baroque paintings and lined with marble. At the
Minoritensäle, it is the historical flair combined with up‐to‐date technology that makes up the
extraordinary ambience.

through distant centuries of the past in a whirlwind tour of the Renaissance, Gothic and Ba‐
roque periods. Graz also captures the moment, the spirit of modern life.

changes and left unmistakable and spectacular marks in the cultural and architectural face of
the city such as the Kunsthaus calles the “friendly alien” or the Island in the river Mur.

Christianity”, the imposing appearance of the castle still commands our respect.
After a cold snack of home made Styrian delicacies we will visit the nearby Zotter Chocolate
Manufacture.
