SAGES and the IHPBA to Partner on Safe Cholecystectomy Session at the IHPBA Meeting in Sao Paulo, April 2016

  • Although it has been 25 years since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy into clinical practice, biliary and other injuries continue to occur for this most common of operations.
  • To address this problem, SAGES and the AHPBA are partnering to present a symposium at the International Hepato-Pancreatic-Biliary (IHPBA) meeting in Sao Paulo, Brazil this coming April 2016 on “Safe Cholecystectomy.”
  • This session will review strategies developed by the SAGES Safe Cholecystectomy program which aims to enhance a universal culture of safety for cholecystectomy and, thereby, reduce biliary injuries.
  • The lunchtime session will feature a panel of internationally recognized speakers and thought leaders on this topic and will be held on Thursday April 21.
