HBP Surgery Week 2017

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Korean Association of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreas Surgery (KAHBPS), it is a great pleasure to invite you to HBP Surgery Week 2017 and the 46th Annual Congress of the Korean Association of HBP Surgery, which will be held from March 31 to April 1, 2017 in Jeju Island, Korea.

KAHBPS was founded 20 years ago in 1996, and during the short period of time since its establishment, KAHBPS has become an important international association through the annual congresses and international symposiums it has held to provide a platform to communicate about its clinical experience and knowledge with other professionals in the field of HBP surgery in the world.

KAHBPS holds an annual congress every spring to share updated information on HBP surgery and network with members. This year, we are preparing to hold a global congress under the title of HBP Surgery Week to enable the exchange of valuable opinions and information with internal and external professionals.

We have put in a lot of effort to develop practical programs for international members, and expect that the congress will serve as a great opportunity for all participants to learn about the latest in the study and clinical guidelines of HBP diseases and socialize with other members. Moreover, a Korea-Japan Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery Joint Symposium on Collaboration Studies will also be organized at the same time.

Just off the coast of Korea, Jeju Island is a prime destination for tourists in the spring season. In addition to your education commitments, we strongly recommend that you try to spare some time to unwind and enjoy the wonderful nature and atmosphere of the island.

We are confident that all that the HBP Surgery Week 2017 has to offer will provide you with a memorable and fruitful time, and invite you to join us for the congress.

Sincerely yours,

IL YOUNG PARK
President of the Korean Association of HBP Surgery

KYUNG-SUK SUH
