International Surgical Week ISW - World Congress of Surgery

The main meeting of IATSIC is in conjunction with the biennial International Surgical Week ISW (World Congress of Surgery) organized by the International Society of Surgery ISS/SIC. Regularly some 15 - 20 International Specialist Societies, amongst which are the four ISS/SIC Integrated Societies (IATSIC, BSI, IASMEN, ISDS) as well as some National Surgical Societies cover the broad spectrum of surgery during a 4-day scientific program. With the aim to gather surgeons in all stages of their career and from all around the globe, the ISW provides platform for the mutual exchange of scientific knowledge and new techniques.

A very successful ISW was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysiain August 2024. The IATSIC sessions were very well-attended by a diverse group of international trauma surgeons. IATSIC in combination with international societies such as AAST, APIMSF, ISDS, IASMEN, ISBI, ASAP as well as WHO and G4 Alliance presented a full week's scientific program.

We are looking forward to the next IATSIC/ISS meeting to be held in Mexico City, Mexico in 2026. We look forward to seeing you there and hope that you will begin to consider submitting abstracts for that meeting… its never too early to commence planning!
