Warm greetings from the National Headquarters of the Association of Surgeons of India.
It gives me immense pleasure and pride to welcome you all to ASICON 2027, which will be held in the vibrant and historic city of Kochi, Kerala.
ASICON is much more than our annual scientific gathering—it is a celebration of surgical excellence, innovation, learning and the enduring camaraderie of our fraternity. ASICON 2027 aims to carry this legacy forward by bringing together the finest minds in surgery and creating a platform where experience meets innovation.
Surgery is transforming rapidly with advances in robotics, minimally invasive surgery, artificial intelligence and digital technologies. At ASICON 2027, we seek to bring together the wisdom of time-tested surgical principles with the possibilities offered by emerging technologies. An exciting academic programme featuring masterclasses, live operative workshops, engaging debates, state-of-the-art lectures, and dedicated sessions for postgraduates and young surgeons is being planned to make this a truly enriching experience.
Equally important is the opportunity ASICON provides to reconnect with old friends, forge new professional relationships and strengthen the bonds that unite our surgical fraternity. The host team in Kerala is working wholeheartedly to ensure an outstanding scientific experience complemented by the unique warmth, hospitality, culture and natural beauty of God’s Own Country.
I warmly invite each one of you to participate actively, present your work, share your experience, engage in meaningful discussions and contribute to making ASICON 2027 a memorable celebration of the art and science of surgery.
Let us come together in Kochi to learn, inspire and innovate—and together take Indian surgery to greater global heights.
I look forward to welcoming you all to ASICON 2027, Kochi.
Long Live ASI!
Warm regards,
Dr. Gaddi Diwakar
Hon. Secretary, ASI 2026
