SAGES 2015 Surgical Spring Week

On behalf of SAGES and the Program Committee, we would like to invite you to attend the SAGES 2015 Annual Meeting in Nashville, TN – Music City, USA.

This year’s SAGES Meeting will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center (part of the Marriott portfolio of brands), from April 15-18 2015 and will continue a long-standing tradition of strong didactic sessions by world-renowned experts, combined with exploration of innovative technology in the broad spectrum of general surgery. A variety of topics will be covered that includes sessions on foregut, colorectal, abdominal wall, bariatric and oncologic surgery. Highlights include: seven postgraduate (PG) courses (including novel PG courses in robotic hepatobiliary surgery, the Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy, and career development); and panel sessions on lessons learned in 25 years of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and endolumenal management of GI surgery complications. This year’s meeting is joint with IPEG and the Military Surgical Symposium and will highlight approaches to GI disease in a pediatric and adolescent population.

The program for the 2015 meeting focuses on relevant clinical problems that busy surgeons encounter every day in their respective practices, including management of complications, approaches for reoperative surgery, and laparoscopy in the acute care setting. New this year are sessions geared to surgeons in community or hospital based practice with information designed to be readily adopted into your daily practice. Sessions are structured to provide self-assessment CME credits, fulfilling Part 2 of the American Board of Surgery Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program.
