In Sarajevo, the first surgery book by a Bosnian author was promoted

In the Sarajevo City Hall, a capital book in the field of modern surgery, "Surgery/Kirurgija", was promoted. It was written by a group of 16 top Bosnian surgeons and 11 co-authors from all over BiH.
This is the first surgery book in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina, containing 22 chapters and covering all areas of surgery in 1,246 pages. It is intended for the advanced training of students and residents, as well as older doctors.

Eminent experts from five state medical faculties in Tuzla, Sarajevo, Foča, Mostar, and Banja Luka have pooled their knowledge and practice, and according to reviewers, have written a top-notch textbook.
Prof. Dr. Samir Delibegović, one of the authors, said at tonight's promotion that work on the book took about 3 years and that those who will use it will have concentrated knowledge with a lot of data in one place. The book is written to be modern, clear, and to easily direct students and surgical residents to important matters.

It presents the latest information, as surgery is a dynamic discipline that is rapidly changing, progressing, and modernizing, with technology and robotics being the basic characteristics of this process.

Prof. Dr. Ismet Gavrankapetanović also addressed the attendees, emphasizing the importance of such a textbook for students and all those who will use it. A special value of the book is that it consolidates the knowledge and experience of surgeons from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina for the first time, from which generations of students will benefit greatly.

The Rector of the University of Sarajevo, Rifat Škiljilj, congratulated the authors of "Surgery", thanking them on behalf of all public universities for uniting knowledge in difficult times for the general good. In addition to several authors from all over BiH, the Sarajevo promotion was attended by Mario Nenadić, Prime Minister of Sarajevo Canton, Draško Jeličić, Minister of Economy and acting Minister of Health of KS, Director of the Institute for Public Health Aida Pilav, and other public figures.
