After the mission "Interplast-2011", the great German microsurgeon Paul Edelmann wrote to professor Baitinger:

"Hallo Professor Baitinger!
I arrived well in Frankfurt.
Thank you very much for all the organization you did. Everything was just perfect and I enjoyed very much operating in your department. 
I`m looking forward coming to Tomsk again in 2012.
All the best for you, your family and your staff.

Best regards,
Dr. med. Paul J. Edelmann"

 During the mission, the professor Paul Edelmann in the course of the week helped Russian doctors free of charge operate children with maxillo-facial defects.
