HBP Surgery Week 2026 – Welcome Message

Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

On behalf of the Korean Association of HBP Surgery (KAHBPS), it is our honor to welcome you to HBP Surgery Week 2026 & the 64th Annual Congress of KAHBPS, to be held March 26–28, 2026 (Thu–Sat), at the Grand Hyatt Incheon, Korea. This year’s meeting is prepared together with affiliated subsocieties, and study groups, reflecting our identity as a united, forward-looking community.

Under the theme “Navigation to New Horizons in HBP Surgery,” the program will spotlight advances in minimally invasive and robotic techniques, evolving oncologic and transplant strategies, perioperative optimization, and data-driven care. You can expect plenary updates, point-counterpoint debates, case-based panels, and focused oral sessions, as well as a Robot Liver & a laparoscopic biliary-pancreas Hands-on Surgical Skills Workshop designed to translate innovation into daily practice. Collaborative sessions with partner societies across Asia will strengthen networks and nurture the next generation of HBP surgeons.

Our commitment is simple and measurable: useful learning, open dialogue, and efficient logistics. Sessions will feature clear learning objectives, curated materials, and time for discussion and networking. Whether you are a trainee or a senior expert, you will gain actionable take-home points and new collaborators.

We warmly invite you to join us in Incheon. Come to share knowledge, build partnerships, and shape what comes next. We promise a practical, collegial, and future-ready congress—one that you will find valuable from the opening session to the closing handshake.

With warm regards,

• 
  Sung Su Yun
  President of the
  Korean Association of HBP Surgery
•
