This year’s 16th Asia - Pasific Congress of Endoscopic Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia (ELSA) will take place between October 5-7, 2023, at Istanbul Lutfi Kirdar Convention & Exhibition Center. Over the years, Endoscopic Laparoscopic Surgery procedures have developed and expanded due to various technological advancements.

The scientific program of the congress will be very comprehensive and will be focusing on updating, investigating, and better understanding the topics in the field of endoscopic laparoscopic surgery including general, upper and lower gastrointestinal, hepatopancreatobiliary, endocrine, bariatric, and metabolic surgery and some other related specialties with the help of pre- and post-congress courses, hands-on and skill labs (endoscopic, laparoscopic and robotic), expert talks, discussion panels, live surgeries, video sessions, emerging new technology sessions and of course oral and poster presentations. Besides the regular congress sessions there will be specially prepared prized competition sessions for surgeons in training and an exciting social program is also planned for you by the local organizing committee.

As the President of the Congress, on behalf of the ELSA society, I look forward to welcoming you to Istanbul where two continents meet.

Yours sincerely,

M Mahir OZMEN MD MS FACS FRCS FASMBS FEBS
