Our mission statement

 

To provide an international forum for exchanging information and developing new knowledge in the field of surgical trauma care.

 

History

The International Society of Surgery (ISS) / Société Internationale de Chirurgie (SIC) was founded in Brussels 1902. It is the oldest international surgical society and is dedicated to the exchange of knowledge, innovation, and experience. Its aims are to promote:

 

• High standards of practice in the art of surgery

• Support the advancement of science within and among specialties through clinical investigation and laboratory research

• Support the basic and specialty fields of general surgery

• Establish collegiality

• Facilitate the exchange of ideas on a formal and informal basis

 

The four Integrated Societies of the ISS/SIC include the  International Association for Trauma Surgery and Intensive Care (IATSIC); International Association for Surgical Metabolism and Nutrition (IASMEN); Breast Surgery International (BSI); and International Society for Digestive Surgery (ISDS).

During the Congress in Toronto, Canada, organized as the International Surgical Week ISW1989, the International Association for Trauma Surgery and Intensive Care was founded as an Integrated Society of the ISS/SIC. IATSIC has continued to contribute greatly to developing new knowledge in the field of trauma surgery. It attracts surgeons from all over the world.
