The Stephen S. Kroll fellowship

 updated 6-2020
 

On November 19, 2000, Stephen passed away in the bloom of his career. Stephen was a great person, a superb surgeon and an exceptional teacher. Stephen Kroll should be remembered for all his contributions to the field of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and specifically his pioneering work in autologous breast reconstruction and perforator flaps.


The “Stephen S. Kroll Scholarship” consists of a grant of € 5000 offered by BEAUTIFUL ABC FOUNDATION and co-sponsored by Motiva to an international young plastic surgeon (younger than 40) or a last year resident in training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery to improve his/her knowledge and clinical expertise in the field of microsurgical breast reconstruction and perforator flaps.

 

The scholarship will be granted yearly (if a proper candidate can be selected) and will start every 1st of October for a period of 3 months at the department of Plastic Surgery of the University Hospital of Gent, Belgium. The grant can only be used for housing, boarding and educational purposes.
