Dear All,

Last year’s meeting in Marseille was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and great success in every respect. We had, 169 high quality submitted abstracts, 87 presentations, Three excellent key note lectures by O.Reinburge-Lausanne, A.Razumovskiy-Moscow and M.Davenport-London, a fascinating minisymposia on thoracoscopic surgery; 236 participants from 27 European countries and beyond, and two well oversubscribed workshops.

This year, Bratislava promises to be even better. As always, all qualified and trainee surgeons who may have an interest in paediatric minimal invasive surgery and advances of technology, as well as allied specialists, scientists, technicians, nurses and industry are warmly welcomed.

The 1st day is dedicated to an Advanced Masterclass - SILS incorporating live operations and discussions involving an international panel of experts; and a parallel Basic Hands-on workshop. The scientific programme lasts two days covering all aspects of basic and advanced laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and urology laparoscopy as well as advances of science and technology. There will also be key note lectures, and minisymposia on relevant and interesting topics. ESPES Executive Committee shall continue to fund the annual prizes - best paper (500Eu)and idea (300Eu).

Although quality remains paramount, the scientific committee shall make every effort to include all levels and styles, but appropriate and proportionate, contributions from everywhere. The cost of both workshops and congress are kept to minimum so that the less privileged and trainees can benefit and contribute. In addition, we have “ESPES” grant to support those who might have difficulties with paying the registration fees (contact President).

I have no doubt that the 4th congress will be the most enjoyable event of your year – thanks to the local organisers, sponsors and ESPES organisers.

I look forward to seeing you all in Bratislava- 1st October 2014.

Azad Najmaldin
ESPES President
