On December 20, 2025, Uzhhorod will host one of the key events of the year in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery — the “Live Surgery Transcarpathian: Difficult Cases 2.0” conference.
The organizer is the plastic surgery clinic Lita Plus, with the support of UPRADAS — Ukrainian Plastic Reconstructive Aesthetic Dermatosurgeons Association.
The event will bring together more than 100 plastic and reconstructive surgeons, dermatologists, and dermatosurgeons from all over Ukraine to share practical experience, discuss complex clinical cases, and present new approaches to treatment.
During the conference, cases of reconstructive surgery performed by the military will be discussed.
In addition to the main scientific program, participants can expect discussion panels, practical case studies, and professional networking.
For the second time, the Difficult Cases 2.0 conference will be a unique platform for lively professional dialogue, where more than 20 speakers will analyze clinical cases from their own practice, complex cases, and solutions.
“We have created a format where doctors can learn from other doctors. This is what shapes the new quality of medicine — when the professional environment does not compete, but develops together,” notes Sergey Derbak, founder of the Lita Plus clinic and president of the UPRADAS association.
Speakers at the event include Sergey Derbak, Ruslan Gumenny, Alexander Karpinsky, Ilya Kirichenko, Alexander Turkevich, Sergey Romanyuk, Vladimir Shapovaluk, Evgeny Simulik, Denis Pominchuk, Alexander Pasechnik, Vasily Pasechnik, Anna Barinova, Irina Shmygina, and other leading surgeons of Ukraine.
Traditionally, the event will take place in Uzhhorod, at the Camelot hotel complex.
“Transcarpathia is becoming an important hub for the development of medical education. It is a place that combines tranquility, focus, and community — exactly what is needed for professional growth,” comments Alexander Karpinsky, plastic surgeon at the Lita Plus clinic.
The conference is supported by the UPRADAS association, which brings together plastic, reconstructive, aesthetic, and dermatological surgeons from Ukraine.
The association promotes the development of postgraduate education, the improvement of surgical standards, and the integration of Ukrainian doctors into the international professional community.
“We support events that not only shape knowledge but also the culture of communication between specialists. Difficult Cases is exactly the format that changes the approach to medical education,” notes Sergey Derbak.
In addition to its educational value, the conference has a charitable mission — all funds raised will be used to purchase vehicles and equipment for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Traditionally, the event will include a gala evening with a charity auction, the proceeds of which will also go to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
A separate category of participation is open to medical university students and interns.
This is a unique opportunity to see the work of leading surgeons, communicate with mentors, and take the first steps in professional development.

Zezman Holding (Odesa) completed the construction of 15.2 thousand square meters of housing in 2024 and will continue to implement the previously announced residential estates in Uzhhorod and Odesa next year.
“This year, we have taken a bold and strategically important step by expanding our presence from the southern region to the west of Ukraine. We presented two large-scale projects: Lizrome in Uzhhorod, the first residential community in the region that meets the principles of sustainable development, and Gross Liebental cottage community in Odesa agglomeration, designed with a focus on energy autonomy, security and flexibility of housing solutions,” Boris Goldenstein, founder and CEO of Zezman Holding, toldInterfax-Ukraine.
By the end of 2024, the developer completed the construction of two buildings with 357 apartments in the Artville residential complex in Odesa, with a total area of 15.2 thousand square meters. The construction of nine buildings for 1 thousand apartments with a total area of 43.5 thousand square meters is also underway.
According to the company, about 40% of sales are made under the eOselya program, which indicates a high demand for mortgage programs.
“At the same time, we are seeing an increase in demand for ready-made housing, in particular, for renovated apartments that meet the principles of ready to use. This reflects the changing priorities of consumers who are looking for comfort and convenience without spending time and money on repairs,” Zezman Holding said.
Founded in 2013, Zezman Holding has commissioned 13 houses, with another 28 residential buildings at various stages of construction.
Urban transport manufacturer Concern Electron has delivered the first four 12-meter buses, Electron A18501, out of the 13 units provided for in the contract to Uzhhorod Municipal Transport, the company said on Facebook.
“By the end of the year, nine more buses will be added to the fleet of the utility company,” the statement said.
The concern informed that 27 buses of this brand are already in operation in Uzhhorod, which means that upon completion of the delivery there will be 40 of them.
“Unlike many other cities, Uzhhorod has a systematic and pragmatic approach to renewing its bus fleet. The city deliberately replenishes it with vehicles of the same brand, which facilitates the maintenance and repair of rolling stock. Electron buses have been in operation in the regional center since 2018,” the company said.
As reported, the contract for the supply of 13 low-floor Electron buses for a total of UAH 126.5 million was signed on September 29, 2023, after the Electronmash plant, part of the concern, won the relevant tender.
The delivery date was set for August 31, 2023.
Other bidders were Zernotrade, which offered Chinese buses for UAH 127.8 million, and Bas Motor LLC with Bogdan buses for UAH 130 million.
In addition, Etalon Avto Trading House tried to challenge what it considered to be discriminatory tender conditions at the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, but was unsuccessful.
