Dear Colleagues,

It is my great privilege and pleasure to welcome you to our spring conference in Klaipeda, Lithuania, called “Mayo Clinic Days in Lithuania 2024”. This nice event started in 2007 and we are holding it every 2–3 years for the 8th time already. Years ago faculty would consist of colorectal surgeons from Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota and their ex-international clinical fellows, but now apart from Mayo’s it developed to a large number other well-known international luminaries. Unique topics and friendly atmosphere will help you to enjoy this one-day exclusive scientific program, and Klaipeda city will offer you an insight to exceptional history of this European city, friendly local people and famous Lithuanian cuisine.

Looking forward to welcoming you all here.

Yours

Prof. Narimantas Evaldas Samalavicius
President, Lithuanian Society of Coloproctologists
Past-president, International Society of University Colon
and Rectal Surgeons
Chief of the Clinic of Abdominal and Thoracic Surgery
Klaipeda University Hospital
