ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
Dear Friends, Dear Colleagues,
It has now been more than 20 years since the Narakas Club conference was held in France. It is therefore a great honour for me to have been chosen to carry out the task of presiding and organising this 24th edition of the Narakas Club, in Paris in October 2026.
For this mission, I will do everything to preserve the spirit of Algminento Narakas throughout this meeting, with wide discussions on specific topics led by expert surgeons, all in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
I have decided to preserve the « precourse » initiated at the last meeting because it is important to transmit to young surgeons, the basics of traumatic and obstetric brachial plexus surgery.
This conference is also an opportunity to reconnect and I hope that many of you will come from all over the world to share your experiences, meet new people and, above all, improve the overall care of our patients with brachial plexus palsies.
Finally, I will try to give a French touch to this conference so that you will have a memorable time in Paris.
Thank you all for your future attendance, your enthusiasm and your participation. This meeting will be yours.
Looking forward to meeting all of you soon.
Jean-Noël GOUBIER
