WELCOME TO ISDS
Welcome to the website of the
International Society for Digestive Surgery.
Please have a look at our new web presents and we are looking forward getting in touch with you over our social media channels.


Welcome by the ISDS President
Dear colleagues and friends,
Welcome to the International Society for Digestive Surgery (ISDS) homepage. We hope you will take this opportunity to learn more about us and decide to become part of our scientific and social family.
The members of our Society are devoted to the education, research, understanding, and management of the surgical diseases that afflict the gastrointestinal tract of our patients worldwide. Through society, we are able to exchange ideas, learn from each other and establish professional and personal relationships that benefit patients and providers alike. It is a true privilege and an honor to be the ISDS President for the 2019/2021 cycle.
The work of the President and the Executive Committee will culminate with the organization of the Virtual Surgical Week VSW 2021 and the International Surgical Week ISW 2022 - the World's Congress of Surgery - the 49th Congress of the International Society of Surgery (ISS/SIC) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia August 28 to September 1, 2022, a unique opportunity for discussion of state-of-the-art concepts, mentorship of young surgeons developing their careers and sponsorship of established surgeons who can benefit from an international network of colleagues. Hence the concept of a scientific and social family, rather than just another Surgical Society.
We have a lot of work ahead of us and we are already in the planning phases of another outstanding gathering. Please join us and plan to attend the Congress in Kuala Lumpur.
If you have any questions or ideas to share with us feel free to contact me at the email address available on the website.
Sincerely
Alessandro Fichera, MD, FACS, FASCRS
President ISDS.
