President’s Letter

July 2022.

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to share with all of you the plans for our next meeting.

The next official in-person meeting of ISAR will be held in Toronto, April 11-13, 2024 as voted on at our last in-person meeting. While April 2024 is sooner than the normal three-year interval between meetings, it will allow us all to get together as soon as possible while still allowing time for our colleagues produce presentations sharing their new ideas, techniques, and research. Hopefully, Covid will be well behind us by then.

We will be in touch soon with dates for Submission of Abstracts.

There will be a Call for Proposals for the subsequent ISAR meeting. I would encourage all members to consider bids for hosting.

David Fisher
President ISAR

In Memoriam: Satoru Nagata

August 28, 1950 – January 2, 2022

I was saddened to learn of the sudden death of Dr.Saturo Nagata on January 2, 2022. He was one of the founders of modern microtia surgery and introduced the two stage technique, today the state of the art technique for ear reconstruction with cartilage . He was a teacher for many of us and will be dearly missed as a friend and colleague.
On behalf of all members of ISAR I would like to extend my deepest condolences to his wife Nobuko, his family, friends and colleagues.
I would like to share his obituary with you, which you can find by clicking here.

Yours sincerely,

Prof. Moshe Kon, MD, PhD
President ISAR
