International Society of Surgery (ISS/SIC)
​
The International Society of Surgery (ISS) / Société Internationale de Chirurgie (SIC) is a global not-for-profit membership orginization, founded in 1902 in Belgium, would like to function with two aims in mind: on the one hand it wants to function as a very benevolent "umbrella organization" to keep the "house of surgery" together for all problems of general interest to all surgical specialties, on the other hand, the ISS/SIC has also a vital interest in upkeeping general surgery as an important training base.
