OBJECTIVES
Hosting the 6th ILLS 2027 World Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina, presents a significant opportunity for the continent. We've aptly named it “The Americas Meeting” as the organizing committee comprises surgeons from various countries across the continent.
Our aim is to provide a forum for hepatobiliary surgeons worldwide to convene, exchange knowledge, and stay abreast of the latest advancements in minimally invasive liver surgery (both laparoscopic and robotic).
Additionally, we aim to explore its applications in areas such as oncology and liver transplantation, alongside complementary techniques like tumor ablation and other innovations in liver tumor treatment. Discussions will encompass the latest innovations and critical aspects of teaching, learning, and training in these techniques.
