Dear Colleagues,

With the great pleasure, I hereby would like to offer a warm welcome to all the participants to the 19th APAGE Annual Congress hosted by IGES in Surabaya, Indonesia from 8th November till 11th November 2018.

Taking this chance, we deeply appreciate the local Organising Committee IGES for their effort toward this APAGE 2018 Annual Congress. Furthermore, I would like to express heartfelt appreciation to those who have devoted, supported and assisted APAGE continuously over the years. Looking to the future, APAGE is always glad to collaborate with medical societies in the Asia-Pacific region, holding workshops and conferences to advance the development, knowledge and techniques in gynecological endoscopy and minimally invasive therapy in our region.

The Congress is a unique and excellent opportunity to learn and to share innovative ideas and experiences with colleagues from all over the world. Wherever you work, take this opportunity to break away from your daily routine in order to discover new approaches and to get acquainted with the scientific sessions that will inspire you. Most of all, please take this opportunity to network and to return home with new knowledge, insight and motivation for your workplace and colleagues.

I believed that this congress will be a highly rewarding educational opportunity. Come and share in our exciting scientific programme and activities in Indonesia.

Sincerely yours,

Masaaki Andou, M.D., Ph.D.
