Chairperson's Message
ILLS Single Topic Conference in Kyoto 2024
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, minimally invasive liver surgery has significantly progressed in the past few years. Due to the direction indicated by the PAM consensus held in Tokyo in February 2021, more precise minimally invasive liver surgery is gradually being introduced in Japan. Preoperative simulation and intraoperative navigation using ICG enabled parenchymal-sparing limited anatomical liver resections, such as monosegmentectomy and subsegmentectomy. In addition, in Japan, robotic liver resection, which has been covered by insurance since April 2022, is increasing explosively.
This time, between the ILLS world congresses to be held in Rome in 2023 and Seoul in 2025, we will hold a conference focused on a single topic, Future Advances in Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery, as follows.
Central Theme: Future Advances in Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery
Day 1: Simulation and IR Navigation
Day 2: Robotic Liver Resection
Date: October 1 and 2, 2024
Venue: Hotel Granvia Kyoto
We invite experts in this field from all over the world and solicit mini-oral presentations from young liver surgeons who will lead the next generation. We would like to fully prepare for the hospitality of Kyoto. See you all in Kyoto in October 2024.
