74th Annual Surgical Update

Surgical Innovations andCurrent Advancements

International College of Surgeons - United States Section

Registration BrochureDear Colleagues,

On behalf of all those who have workeddiligently to develop the scientific programfor our meeting in Atlanta, I am proud topresent our 2012 Registration Brochure il-lustrating our upcoming program. Thetheme of the 74th Annual Surgical Update

is “Surgical Innovations and Current Advancements.” Three daysof plenary sessions will address robotics, minimally invasive surgi-cal procedures, and specialty programming, focusing on a multi-disciplinary and team approach to the practice of surgery utilizingthe latest technology and the most cutting edge techniques. Alsoincluded are several workshops that will enhance your surgicalskills. It is my pleasure to inform you that we will have a da Vincirobot at the meeting. Intuitive has committed to have their mo-bile robotic system in Atlanta all day on Saturday, June 9th. This isa unique opportunity to learn about the latest robotic surgicaltechnology in an intimate setting with a hands-on opportunityto experience the future of surgery.

Common scenarios and complex situations will be discussed withinnovative approaches to surgical management for improved pa-tient care. The overall goal of this conference is to enhance tech-nique, to advance current surgical knowledge, foster continuedtraining, and improve patient care. In addition to the aforemen-tioned scientific programming a thought provoking session onSurgical Ethics has been included that will certainly be the topic of

many post-meeting conversations. Participants in our ResearchScholarship Competition will provide their findings and demon-strate that the future of surgery and medicine is in good hands. Asa past winner, I personally consider the Scholarship Competitionto be one of the most important things that we do and encour-age everyone to make time to commend our recipients and tosee what the future holds.

An update will also be provided on our Surgical Team activities thatfocuses on giving back to those in need around the world. We areprivileged to be part of a profession where humanitarian activitiesabound and we are able to offer our time and skills to the less for-tunate. Finally, we extend a warm welcome to the members of theAmerican Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeonswho will be joining us for their 36th Annual Scientific Meeting.

Please join us in easily accessible Atlanta, June 6-9 for a memo-rable experience.

INNOVATIONS IN SURGERY: ETHICAL CAUTIONSSince the first code of medical ethics was published in the UnitedStates by the American Medical Association in 1847, this topic hasbeen at the forefront of medical education. The field of surgery isone in which ethical behavior is paramount. Throughout everysurgeon’s career new ethical challenges are encountered.

This session will give participants a deeper understanding of howvarious cases involving ethical dilemmas can be addressed. It willconsist of presentation of background information on medical ethicsissues such as genetic research, medical care and scientific advancesand how those cases were handled with ample time for discussionto determine if other approaches could have been more appropriate.
