Colleagues, We are delighted that the 17th World Congress of the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association will meet in Singapore for this special event. The Scientific Committee of IHPBA and the Local Organising Committee are working together to develop a rich and diverse scientific programme, featuring leading experts and distinguished speakers from around the world. The outstanding scientific programme will provide an exceptional opportunity for learning, exchange, and collaboration among colleagues across all regions. It will integrate the latest evidence, innovative techniques, and state-of-the-art lectures that reflect the breadth and depth of our field. By attending the IHPBA 2026 congress, you will have the opportunity to connect with peers, share experiences, and strengthen the bonds that unite the global HPB community. The four days of the Congress promise to be both intellectually stimulating and deeply rewarding for surgeons and allied specialties dedicated to the care of patients with HPB diseases. Come join us! Professor Itaru Endo |
