World Congress

The IHPBA World Congress offers a significant opportunity to gain professional experience and knowledge in the Hepato Pancreato Biliary field.  A comprehensive scientific programme includes symposia, keynote lectures, abstract presentations and video symposia. Abstracts are invited from HPB surgeons worldwide.

The exhibition and social functions provide many opportunities to network and exchange ideas with fellow professionals and friends.
