🌍 ESSKA-EKA Mentorship 2024

Earlier this year, Dr. Lorenz Pichler (Medical University of Vienna) joined Prof. Reha Tandoğan (Çankaya Hospital, Ankara) for a week-long mentorship in Turkey.

From hands-on experience in robotic-assisted knee and hip arthroplasty to observing pioneering arthroscopy techniques, the mentorship offered invaluable learning opportunities. Beyond the operating theatre, it also fostered genuine friendship and collaboration – the very essence of the ESSKA-EKA mentorship initiative.
