Dear Members of World ICS,

The International College of Surgeons (Thailand Section) is honored to host the Asia Pacific Federation Congress 2026. This congress aims to promote advances in various surgical disciplines across the region, while providing a platform for surgeons to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and further their learning. Through these collaborative efforts, we hope to enhance surgical science, refine clinical skills, and strengthen decision-making, ultimately for the greatest benefit of our patients.


In addition, a pre-congress workshop will be organized to provide hands-on training in oncoplastic breast surgery, utilizing fresh cadaver specimens. This workshop is designed to build essential foundational skills in the surgical management of breast cancer.


Bangkok, a city rich in culture and beauty, warmly welcomes visitors from around the world. Beyond the academic program, we believe that the spirit of friendship and international collaboration fostered during this congress will grow even stronger.

Thank you for your interest and support.
We look forward to welcoming you in Bangkok.

On behalf of the Research Section of the International College of Surgeons 2026,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Thailand for a meeting that celebrates surgical science, innovation, and meaningful clinical impact.

We warmly invite surgeons, trainees, researchers, and multidisciplinary teams to submit their scientific work for presentation at ICS 2026. We welcome high-quality submissions across the spectrum of surgery—clinical trials, observational studies, quality improvement, surgical education, translational research, health services research, and systematic reviews/meta-analyses—especially work that advances patient safety, outcomes, and value-based care.

"More than a venue for presenting results; it is a platform to sharpen methods, strengthen collaborations, and accelerate publication-ready research."

Publication Opportunity:

In partnership with the Siriraj Medical Journal (SMJ), selected submissions with full manuscripts will be considered through a peer-review process aligned with SMJ standards, with an opportunity for publication in a dedicated SMJ supplement.

We look forward to receiving your best work and to welcoming you to Thailand for an outstanding scientific exchange.
