Abstract
The 30th Annual Congress of the International Pediatric Endosurgery Group (IPEG) was held under the theme “Exploring new frontiers and innovative spaces.” The Congress was held in Los Angeles, USA on June 11 and 14, 2021, in a virtual format due to the ongoing coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic. More than 600 pediatric surgeons from all regions worldwide participated in the meetings.
This article provides a concise overview of the scientific and practical information presented at the forum. The Congress program included 273 scientific presentations, of which 11 were made by Russian surgeons. The priority topics covered almost all sections of pediatric surgery with a certain focus on the main directions of development of minimally invasive surgery and the consistent promotion of innovative technologies in pediatric surgery. The materials of the presented presentations contained statistical data of clinical trials, proposals for improving endosurgical techniques, and creating new surgical instruments, as well as scientific justification for the use of fundamentally new medical technologies.
The scientific and practical information presented at the Congress indicates that IPEG, on a global scale, continues its progressive movement toward the search for new frontiers in improving professional skills and innovative pediatric surgery development.
