Copenhagen Peripheral Nerve Surgery Course

🧠✋ Peripheral Nerve Surgery Course – Copenhagen, September 2025 🇩🇰

Earlier this September, surgeons from around the world gathered in Copenhagen for an inspiring and hands-on Peripheral Nerve Surgery Course.
Led by senior consultant, international experts in peripheral nerve surgery, the course brought together talented participants from neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and orthopedic surgery — all eager to refine their skills and share experiences across specialties.

Over the course of 3 intensive days, surgeons explored peripheral nerve anatomy, practiced advanced microsurgical techniques and approaches, and discussed complex cases — all with one shared goal: improving outcomes for patients with peripheral nerve injuries.

A huge thank you to our amazing faculty and all participants for making this event such a success! 👏
