State-of-the-art Lectures – Fifth Clinical Congress

To honor the past and the contribution of personalities who have given a lot to the building and advancement of surgery in our country, in different times and ways, the Kosova College of Surgeons has decided to establish state-of-the-art lectures. These lectures are named after the most contributing personalities and the lecture or presentation that falls into this category is called a named lecture. Each year for the KCS Clinical Congress, the named lectures of that Congress will be determined.
