President of the Slovenian Association for Endoscopic Surgery”
Bojan Krebs
The Clinical Department of Abdominal and General Surgery of the University Medical Center Maribor is organizing a 16th Congress of Slovenian Association for Endoscopic Surgery.
Therefore, it is our great pleasure to invite you, on behalf of Organizing Committee, to our traditional National Congress, which will be held from Wednesday, November 20th to Saturday, November 23rd, 2024 in Hotel Habakuk, Maribor, Slovenia.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has dramatically changed over the past decades. As MIS has evolved, surgical outcomes have significantly improved and rigorous assessment of our surgical performance has led to better and safer care for patients. This honest evaluation of our current practice allows for the implementation of innovation in a thoughtful manner, while protecting patients from harm.
This event will offer opportunities to share new knowledge, listen to the lectures of distinguished faculty members, meet new friends and reconnect with the old ones. 78 outstanding presentations from 14 different European countries (United Kingdom, Norway, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Bulgaria, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Slovenia) represents an excellent example of the importance of open dialogue and critical assessment of outcomes which accompany the implementation of a new complex surgical techniques.
This meeting will also offer an opportunity for residents, young surgeons and emerging researchers to showcase their work and we are looking forward to your presentations. It is also of great importance to inform you that a last day of the congress, on November 23rd, 2024, a hands-on basic laparoscopic course will be organized for all interested residents.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you in Maribor, meeting you at our planned exciting social events as well, and we promise that it will be a memorable congress for all the participants.
