Dear Friends and Colleagues, 

2 

WELCOME 

The present congress is a very important landmark in the history of European trauma and emergency 

surgery, because it is the first congress organized by our new European society, ESTES. As most of you know 

by now, at the 8th European Trauma Congress in Graz May 2007, the two big European trauma societies, 

ETS and EATES, merged into one society, the European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery = 

ESTES. 

This merging process was initiated in 2004 and could after discussions in a very constructive atmosphere be 

finalised earlier than anticipated. In Graz, an interim board including the boards of the old societies was 

appointed to run the new society until the Budapest congress where a new, common board will be elected. 

The tasks of the interim board have been to settle the bylaws for the new society, make decisions with regard 

to registration and administrative organization, prepare for the election of the common board and, of course, 

support the organization of the first congress of the society in Budapest. 

The advantages of merging into one society are apparent: The new society will be very strong with more than 

5000 members, covering the whole of Europe with a great potential to significantly influence the development 

of trauma and emergency surgery in Europe with regard to organisation, education and training, and 

development and research. One strong society also has a better possibility to get a political impact within 

the health care sector with regard to promotion of these fields. It also increases the possibilities to organise 

attractive meetings, and to attract sponsorship. 

The former EATES (the European Association for Trauma and Emergency Surgery) has brought into the new 

society the field of emergency surgery, which to an increasing extent today is promoted together with 

trauma into one entity with advantages for both fields. ETS (the European Trauma Society) brings in the 

important connection with the national trauma societies, and strengthening of the profile of skeletal trauma. 

Considering this together, the conditions for making the new society strong and successful in promoting 

these fields in Europe are very good. 

With this background, it is a pleasure to inform you that the recruitment process since the Society was 

officially registered November 09, 2007 has been very succesful, with many of our colleagues registering as 

individual members, thereby combining a more active support of the Society with the advantages 

connected to this kind of membership. Also, four additional national societies have applied and been 

approved for institutional membership which also contributes to the strength of the Society. We hope to see 

many of our new members at this congress and look forward to working with you for the promotion of 

trauma and emergency surgery in Europe! 

The good attendance of this congress and the large number of submitted abstracts of good quality also 

reflect this positive recruitment and can be taken as an additional sign of a promising future for our 

society. 

On behalf of the new society and of our local organisers, it is an honour and a pleasure for us to welcome 

you to Budapest, and we hope that you will have a both pleasant and professionally fruitful stay with us!

Dear Colleagues, 

WELCOME 

We, the trauma and emergency surgeons of Hungary, as well as the board of ESTES, bid 

welcome to all participants of the First ESTES Congress 2008 in Budapest! 

Hungarian trauma surgery derived from general surgery well before WW II and showed a 

similar pattern of development as Austrian trauma surgery. A central institute of trauma 

was founded in 1956 and nowadays, we have four university chairs at our four medical 

universities. During the early years, specialization was based on general surgery but in 

1984, an independent trauma specialization was introduced. A common trauma and 

orthopaedic surgery specialization has been effective since 2006. However, the independent 

networks of trauma and orthopaedic care are maintained. The network of trauma 

care consists of university departments, regional centers, and many hospital departments, providing a system 

of 52 units. 

We hope that the 1st ESTES Congress will provide a lot of useful information for all of us. 

On behalf of all organisers, I wish you a very pleasant stay in Budapest. 

Péter Fröhlich, Congress President 

Dear Colleagues, 

The European Association for Trauma and Emergency Surgery (EATES) and the European 

Trauma Society (ETS) have bestowed on me a great honor by agreeing to choose me as 

the Co-president of the “9th European Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery 

FIRST ESTES CONGRESS” to be held in Budapest, May 24-27, 2008. 

Due to the enormous efforts undertaken by the members of the EATES board under the 

direction of the past president Ari Leppaniemi (Helsinki, Finland) to rebuild and strengthen 

the organisational structure as well as the diplomacy, characteristic of the new 

president of EATES, Sten Lennquist (Linköping, Sweden), and the General Secretary, 

Korhan Taviloglu (Istanbul, Turkey), the consensus of the members of both executive 

boards that met in May 2007 in Graz, Austria, we now all proudly belong to one new society, the European 

Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery, or ESTES. 

It is therefore with great pleasure that I, with Congress President Péter Fröhlich, welcome you to what will be 

the first official joint meeting of both societies under the new name of European Society for Trauma and 

Emergency Surgery. 

Abe Fingerhut, Congress Co-President

CONGRESS INFORMATION

HUNGARY 

SERVICES FOR PARTICIPANTS 

BUDAPEST 

Budapest is the capital of Hungary and the country's principal 

political, cultural, commercial, industrial and transportation 

centre. In 2007, Budapest had 1,696,128 inhabitants with an 

official agglomeration of 2,451,418, down from a mid-1980s 

peak of 2.1 million. 

Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the 

river Danube (Hungarians call it the Duna river) with the amalgamation 

on 17 November 1873 of right-bank (west) Buda and 

Óbuda (Old Buda) together with Pest on the left (east) bank. 

Aquincum, originally a Celtic settlement, was the direct ancestor 

of Budapest, becoming the Roman capital of Lower 

Pannonia. Magyars (pronounced "mahdyars") arrived in the territory around 900. Their first settlement was 

pillaged by the Tatars in 1241-42. The re-established town became one of the global centers of Renaissance 

humanist culture in the 15th century. Following nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule, development of the region 

entered a new age of prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries, and Budapest became a global city after the 

1873 unification of its three constituents. It also became the second capital of Austria-Hungary, a great power 

that dissolved in 1918. 

Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Budapest is considered an important Central 

European hub for business, culture and tourism. Its World Heritage Sites include the banks of the Danube, 

the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue and the Millennium Underground railway, the first on the European 

continent. Budapest attracts over 20 million visitors a year, making it one of the top destinations in Europe. 

The city ranks 74th on Mercer Consulting's 'World's Top 100 Most Livable Cities' list.

Hungary ( Magyarország), officially the Republic of Hungary, is 

a land in the Carpathian Basin of Central Europe. Its capital is 

Budapest. Hungary is a member of OECD, NATO, EU and a 

Schengen state. The official language is Hungarian (also 

known as Magyar), which forms part of the Finno-Ugric family. 

It is one of the four official languages of the European Union 

that is not of Indo-European origin. 

Following a Celtic (after c. 450 BC) and a Roman (9 BC - c. 4th 

century) period, the foundation of Hungary was laid in the late 

9th Century by the Magyar chieftain Árpád, whose great grandson 

István ascended to the throne with a crown sent from 

Rome in 1000. The Kingdom of Hungary existed with minor interruptions for more than 900 years, and at various 

points was regarded as one of the cultural centres of the Western world. It was succeeded by a 

Communist era (1947-1989) during which Hungary gained widespread international attention regarding the 

Revolution of 1956 and the spectacular move of opening its border to Austria in 1989, thus accelerating the 

collapse of the Eastern Block. The present form of government is Parliamentary Republic (1989-). Hungary's 

current goal is to become a developed country by IMF standards, having become already developed by most 

traditional measures, including GDP and HD (world ranking 36th). The country's first ever term of EU presidency 

is due in 2011. 

Hungary is one of the 15 most popular tourist destinations in the world, with a capital regarded as one of the 

most beautiful in the world. Despite its relatively small size, the country is home to numerous World Heritage 

Sites, UNESCO Biosphere reserves, the second largest thermal lake in the world (Lake Hévíz), the largest lake 

in Central Europe (Lake Balaton), and the largest natural grassland in Europe (Hortobágy).
