It is with immense pleasure that we, the Organizing Committee, extend a heartfelt welcome to you for the Mid-IAGES 2025 the mid term conference of the Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo Surgeons IAGES. We are happy to host you in the magnificent city of Kanyakumari, nestled amidst the serene ambience of the mighty triple seas.

This international event, taking place from October 24th to 26th 2025 , at the Rohini College of Engineering, Kanyakumari, promises to be a truly enriching experience. Our carefully curated theme, " Learn it Loud", reflects our commitment to creating an immersive platform for global exchange.

We aim to delve deep into the latest trends, advancements, and challenges in the dynamic world of Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS), robotic surgery, and flexible endoscopy.
We are privileged to bring together leading experts, innovators, and surgeons from around the globe. Our program is designed to foster a dynamic environment for knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and professional growth. We will revisit the core principles that underpin the success of minimal invasive surgery – precision, safety, and patient care – through a series of simulator-assisted fellowship programs, insightful invited orations, expert talks, and interactive discussions. This is an invaluable opportunity to reinforce the foundational knowledge essential for mastering MIS.

Looking ahead, we are particularly excited to showcase the transformative innovations shaping the future of surgical practice. Expect illuminating insights into cutting-edge advancements such as robotics, augmented reality, and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in surgery, alongside advanced laparoscopic techniques. The convergence of surgical excellence, technological advancement, and patient-centered care will be at the heart of our discussions, ensuring we are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities the future of surgery holds.

We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to Kanyakumari during October 2025 for what promises to be an inspiring, informative, and truly transformative conference.
