Esser Masterclass Asia
Hand surgery education is a rapidly developing field in Asia, in which real life surgery and online training are vital components to become a master in hand surgery. We are proud to expand the educational collaboration between Esser Masterclass and the Hand and Microsurgery Unit of Hospital UKM (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) in Kuala Lumpur. Based in the bustling metropolis of Kuala Lumpur, the department is a dynamic, young unit open to new ideas, concepts and techniques. Additionally, Esser Asia is proud to be supported by the Malaysian Hand Surgery Society and be the official course of the society.
The mission of the Esser Asia collaboration is making high-quality hand surgery education accessible for every hand surgeon around the globe and our motto is training from hand surgeons to hand surgeons.
The Esser Asia 2025 course is a 4 day course composed of one day of Finger flaps followed by a 3 days Advance Nerve Course. The Advance Nerve Course will focus on detailed explanations of advanced nerve procedures, tips and tricks on surgical dissection and panel QA discussion sessions. Each cadaver will be shared by only 2 participants. The Finger Flap Course can be taken separately or combined with the Advanced Nerve Course. The course will be held in the Advanced Surgical Skills Centre which offers excellent laboratory and teaching facilities.
