Dear friends and colleagues,

​

On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is our great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all attendees of the Hong Kong Surgical Forum 2025.

​

This year’s Forum promises to be an exceptional gathering, bringing together renowned experts and esteemed medical professionals from across the globe, who will share their invaluable insights across a wide spectrum of surgical specialties.

​

The Hong Kong Surgical Forum has long been at the forefront of pioneering surgical advancements, and this year is no exception. Our agenda focuses on the latest breakthroughs in breast, cardiothoracic, gastrointestinal, head and neck, hepatobiliary & pancreatic, paediatric and vascular surgery—fields that continue to experience ground-breaking innovations. We are especially privileged to welcome Professor Henri Bismuth as this year’s Legend Series Orator, who will share his unparalleled expertise in hepatobiliary surgery.

​

Through engaging lectures, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking discussions, we aim to foster meaningful dialogue, exchange ideas, and push the boundaries of surgical excellence. Additionally, a paediatric urology master skills course, an advanced laparoscopic paediatric urology course, a post-forum cadaveric workshop on cardiothoracic surgery, and urology workshops will provide hands-on learning opportunities.

​

We encourage all participants to actively engage in scientific sessions, contribute to dynamic discussions, and seize the networking opportunities available. This Forum serves as a vital platform for sharing knowledge, expanding professional connections, and forging collaborations that will shape the future of surgical practice.

​

Once again, we extend our deepest gratitude for your presence. Your expertise and participation are instrumental in making this event a resounding success. We wish you a fruitful, inspiring, and rewarding experience at the Hong Kong Surgical Forum 2025, as we collectively advance patient care and elevate surgical excellence.
