A First for Surgery
Melbourne - Medianet International-AsiaNet - Exploration of the latest innovations in surgery will be the focus when more than 2000 surgeons attend the conjoint Annual Scientific Congress, Achievement through Collaboration, at the Hong Kong Convention Centre in Hong Kong next week.
For the first time, surgeons from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons will join surgeons from the Hong Kong College at one of the biggest ever surgical meetings held in the region.
Australian and New Zealand surgeons have a long standing and productive relationship with their Hong Kong colleagues particularly in the area of surgical education. The holding of this Conjoint Congress reconfirms this relationship and supports the theme of the Congress "Achievement through Collaboration".
World experts in surgical delivery and techniques will also update surgeons on what is happening at some of the leading surgical centres of the world, information that surgeons can use to save lives and improve patient care.
The President of the Australasian College, Dr Andrew Sutherland, said that although surgeons operate locally there is a need to embrace global surgical developments to improve practice and make the system safer for patients.
"The responses and solutions formulated at the local level in one region are not always transmitted globally, which is why we travel, to be exposed to novel local solutions and approaches that we can apply at home"
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Mr Donald Tsang will be giving the keynote address at the Congress on Monday and the Vice Minister for Health in China, Dr. Jeifu Huang (a surgeon himself) will officially open the Congress on Tuesday).
Distinguished surgical luminaries from around the world will be giving presentations on a varied range of surgical subjects including the latest in cancer treatments and using American star wars defence know how for health care.
The ability of scientists to artificially grow blood vessels, a new treatment for back pain that could be used for other chronic pain, what is working in breast cancer treatments and the value of robotic surgery in Hong Kong, is it worth it, will all be presentations.
The Congress will run from Tuesday 12 May until Friday 16 May, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
