The field of MIS is fast moving forward than ever in almost all surgical specialities in the world.

We believe, by promoting the MIS, we can ultimately upgrade the patient care and outcome. And hence, the central theme of the conference is stated as “Exchanging experience, upgrading care”.

In this conference, many elite international and local experts are invited to exchange and share the knowledge. The conference will be preceded by preconference workshops from various specialites. And scientific lectures, presentations, and free papers will be presented during the conference days. This will undoubtedly bring together distinguished surgeons, researchers, endoscopists and clinicians from many specialities and provide excellent opportunities to exchange knowledge and ideas.
