Vanakkam! A warm “Southern Welcome” to you! This year's AMASICON 2008 due to be held at Chennai promises to be even more exciting and stimulating than the previous conferences. We have planned an extravaganza of laparoscopic surgery for the 4 days. It can be called as a 'Laparoscopic Supermarket', where you can choose to witness any procedure in any speciality you wish. The specialities are General Surgery, GI Surgery, Onco- Surgery, Urology, Pediatric Surgery, Bariatric Surgery and Gynecology. The workshop will feature cutting edge surgery performed by prominent national and international faculty who are experts in their field. Panel discussions regarding the theory behind the procedures and evidence-based practices will also be held, so as to provide a complete understanding of a particular subject to the surgeon.
The delegates are strongly encouraged to actively participate in the discussions.
Another unique concept is being introduced in this conference – five 'Postgraduate Teaching Courses' are being held. They will consist of detailed discussions of basic and relevant topics of importance that will help both postgraduates and young surgeons.
Stress is laid on new emerging techniques and technologies. Of course, hereafter no minimally invasive surgery Workshop is complete without NOTES, so we have planned live demonstration of NOTES. This forms the basis of our theme for this year's conference – 'Minimally Invasive Surgery for All – Mission not Impossible!' .
All work and no play makes the surgeon a dull boy! After a hard day's work, enjoy the 'Southern comfort' with pleasant evenings studded with cultural events. Chennai has now become a bustling and vibrant megacity, nourished by sambaar and IT companies. There are many high-end restaurants, fabulous beaches in and outside Chennai to visit, not to mention theme parks and shopping malls for the entire family. Be sure to try the enormous Family dosas!

We are looking forward to your presence and participation at AMASICON 2008.
