Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,

It is a great honor and pleasure for me to invite you all to the 142nd German Congress of Surgery (DCK) in Munich on behalf of the DGCH.

The DCK is traditionally the highlight of our joint work in our historically important and at the same time active and youthful specialist society. Our DCK 2025 is intended to bring together as many surgeons as possible, colleagues from all interdisciplinary specialist societies, employees from all nursing professions, the German Armed Forces, students and, above all, our next generation.  Of course, we look forward to continuing our excellent cooperation with the industry and our sponsors.

We must comprehensively fulfill our tasks of providing surgical care to all our patients in the context of the current complex domestic and foreign policy developments.

The motto of the DCK 2025 has been chosen very carefully and specifically to address these immense tasks.

The motto “Safe surgery for all” is to be understood literally. There are three main aspects to this. Firstly, we would like to evaluate, discuss and further improve the topic of “safety in the operating theater” in connection with the checklists that have been in place for some time. Another point, which is particularly important to me, is safe surgery for all people who require an operation. This involves vulnerable groups such as very young children, the elderly, refugees, people with a migration background and, above all, people in precarious living situations. Unfortunately, it is still the case that not everyone has sufficient access to surgery, even in our highly developed country. We not only want to address this, but also develop it comprehensively. Another central point of our congress is global surgery, which we should increasingly address, especially now.

At the DCK 2025, in addition to the classic surgical topics of the participating specialist societies, we will be addressing the areas of robotics, artificial intelligence and virtual reality, but also in particular the promotion of young talent and new concepts in education and training.

Please make a note of the date of the DCK 2025, March 26-28, 2025, in your calendars today and also find a suitable abstract category to present your scientific and clinical results.

With best regards
See you in Munich!

Greeting DGAV

Dear colleagues,

We cordially invite you to our 142nd Congress of the German Society of Surgery 2025 in Munich!

Many controversial topics have dominated our everyday surgical work this year. With a wide-ranging program, we would like to provide you with answers to numerous questions.
Safety and patient well-being are at the forefront of our surgical activities. That is why we are taking up this year’s motto “Safe surgery for all” in numerous sessions.

The DGAV organizes over 30 different meetings with its working groups, several of which are interdisciplinary with our neighbouring surgical fields. Important professional policy issues that threaten the existence of many hospitals are also the focus of the DCK 2025. We all see numerous shortcomings in our healthcare system and attempts to solve them, although our courage and cooperation in implementing sensible measures is certainly not lacking. This raises exciting issues, particularly in general and visceral surgery: Federal hospital reform and the NRW hospital plan, minimum volumes, outpatient treatment, digitalization and AI, comprehensive further training and the promotion of young talent, nursing and bed shortages, indication and complication management.

 

The DCK 2025 will start with three parallel online streams over three days, a format that has proven successful in the past. Here, important clinical and experimental research results will be communicated quickly (rapid communications), and instructive everyday cases can also be presented and discussed.

Afterwards, we will meet in presence at the International Congress Center Munich and thus maintain our important personal exchange.

We look forward to exciting and eventful congress days with you! Come to the DCK 2025, come to Munich!

Greeting DGKCH

On behalf of the German Society for Pediatric Surgery, I am delighted to invite you to the 142nd German Congress of Pediatric Surgery in Munich.

Medicine today is in a state of constant change and together we have to provide our patients with the best possible care under increasing economic pressure. This is certainly challenging. With the German Congress of Surgery, the German Society of Surgery creates an optimal framework for successfully holding the annual meetings of the individual specialist societies.

The motto of this year’s congress, “Safe surgery for all”, highlights the need to provide the best possible surgical treatment for vulnerable groups in our society, such as young children and adolescents. Important central topics such as global surgery and artificial intelligence will be dealt with on an interdisciplinary basis in order to shed light on all facets of these complex issues. Other key interdisciplinary topics include vascular access in children and interdisciplinary reconstructive surgery in children. In the actual pediatric surgery sessions, innovative topics such as robotics, modern oncological concepts in germ cell tumors, simulation in minimally invasive surgery, safety management and complication avoidance, new blood, research and challenges in complex congenital malformations will be discussed. For the first time, the sessions of the Pediatric Traumatology Section (SKT) will be integrated into the pediatric surgery program. This underlines the close cooperation between the individual groups in this field.

We look forward to seeing you in Munich 2025!

With best regards

 

Prof. Dr. Guido Seitz
