Chair: Natan Zundel, M.D.; Co-Chair: Raul Rosenthal, M.D.

As a result of SAGES growth and evolution, our society has become one of the world’s leaders in minimally invasive and endoscopic surgery. The practice and evolution of minimally invasive surgery has been enriched by SAGES members from around the globe, and it is important to recognize the diversity of surgical contributions that have occurred outside the United States. To highlight the international relationships and partnerships within SAGES, this symposium will feature leading surgeons and surgical innovators from Latin American who are members of SAGES and ALACE (the Association of Latin American Endoscopic Surgeons) and who have made major contributions to the field of general, laparoscopic, and endoscopic surgery.

Objectives:

    At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
  • Understand sentinel contributions and important innovations in minimally invasive surgery that have arisen in Latin America.
  • Identify contributions made by Latin American surgeons who are currently practicing in the United States.
  • Discuss the impact and application of new surgical techniques that have been developed in Latin America
