Latvian Association of Microsurgery held Military Surgery Forum in Riga (LU Science house, 1-2.april 2023) and I had a wonderful chance to be a part of it. World renown lecturers, experience from different battle fields. Meeting surgeons from Ukraine, USA, Finland, UK and other places. And the greatest thing of all – Dr. Olafs Libermanis was generous enough and there was a possibility to try the basic microsurgery techniques under his guidance! Thank you for the chance to see a different picture under the microskope! Thank you to Dr. O.Libermanis and Dr. M. Malzubris for their continuous work in Ukraine!
