International Institute of Reconstructive Microsurgery

The International Institute of Reconstructive Microsurgery (IIRM) was created by Dr. Terzis after hearing the suggestions of her own patients who, one after another, told stories of their long struggles to identify a center that could render proper care to their paralyzed child.

Dr. Terzis decided to foster a center for future generations of paralyzed children, a center where people can call for help and information. Also, a center that would continue the tradition of pushing the frontiers of microsurgical techniques, and preserve the ones that have helped so many patients in the past. All of this will lead to a rewarding future for paralyzed patients.

Over the years, the Institute has provided training for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellows, visiting scientists and young international scholars, including enthusiastic students; thus, assembling the brightest minds to provide new insights in reconstructive microsurgery. The list of directors is comprised of internationally known microsurgeons who, along with other benefactors and humanitarians, will serve as trustees of the funds raised.

The need is urgent and the funds are very limited. Please consider helping this organization become viable and productive, so that it soon may become a national and international resource center to provide constant information to make restorative microsurgery a possibility for every patient.

The plan for this year is to raise adequate funding to support missions to underdeveloped countries where children afflicted with deformities can be treated. The goal of these upcoming missions includes educational and training activities for local physicians to provide follow-up care and also to be trained in restorative microsurgery techniques. This is a very worthwhile cause. We urge you to become part of the International Institute of Reconstructive Microsurgery. This venture can only be successful with your help.
