These are exciting times for the ISGE. Our transformation from specialist medical society, into a global medical organization is almost complete.
We now have record numbers of members from all round the world, and membership continues to grow at a significant rate. Our program of educational meetings is well developed with organisations all around the world keen to work with us. Our work in education, both in providing practical teaching sessions and accreditation in endoscopic surgery is increasingly popular. Please encourage colleagues to join the ISGE family.

Our secretariat, under the leadership of President Rob O’Shea, and Medical Director Bruno Van Herendael provides members with support and guidance to ensure they get the most from their ISGE membership.
ISGE is in detailed discussions with colleagues in China with a view to developing educational meetings. ISGE is keen to share good practice in China, which has so many outstanding endoscopic surgeons who are keen to develop closer professional relations with colleagues worldwide.
