Dear members,
Dear colleagues,
Dear friends,
It is an honour for me to be elected as president of the Royal Belgian Society of Surgery which has been founded in 1893. As you all know, our profession is rapidly evolving with new technical developments and new treatment modalities for surgical pathology. Together with the dynamism of the sections and affiliated societies, we aim to further improve postgraduate surgical teaching and training and spread surgical science. Surgical residents are essential for the future of surgery and their training needs our special interest.
I am looking forward to meet you at the several activities of the RBSS and its sections.
Prof. dr. Paul De Leyn
President Royal Belgian Society of Surgery
2016-2017
