IHPBA Launches Research Committee

admin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 22:44:28 +0000

During the 7th World Congress of the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Assocaition in Edinburgh, the IHPBA Research Committee was created. The IHPBA as the leading scientific organization in the field of HPB diseases is the optimal platform for developing and performing large surgical trials in HPB surgery.

These trials under the guidance and auspices of the IHPBA should be of the highest quality and credibility. Thus, the aims of the Research Committee are: (a) to enhance evidence-based medicine in HPB surgery, (b) to facilitate large trials with adequate sample sizes, and (c) to potentiate efforts and ideas from IHPBA members. The Research Committee will try to establish a platform for high-quality multi-center inter-continental clinical trials in HPB surgery.

To generate a strong network, specific IHPBA Trial Units will be defined based on a proof of experience of conducting, organizing or participation in clinical trials and a certain case-load of pancreatic resections, major liver resections, and biliary operations per year.

During the 7th World Congress, 5 excellent bids were presented for the 2012 World Congress during the selection meeting in Edinburgh. All bids were of extremely high quality but unfortunately the IHPBA council could only select one of these very attractive locations.
Paris, France, was selected, the bid of Jacques Belghiti.
We would like to thank all bidders for all efforts during the Edinburgh meeting and for this open and high quality bid procedure.
