This November, Bali has once again been entrusted to host an international medical event. At the Bali Digestive Summit 2026, held from November 4 to 7, 2026, digestive surgery experts from around the globe gathered to share insights, particularly regarding developments in upper gastrointestinal (Upper GI) and hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery.

This event was more than just a typical gathering of surgeons. Over the course of four days, the agenda was packed with highly practical sessions. The first two days focused on intensive workshops. As a point of pride, RSUP Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah was honored to serve as one of the primary venues for these sessions, where participants engaged in hands-on mentorship for open hepatectomy cases straight from the operating theater. Additionally, training on Precision Liver Surgery and intraoperative liver ultrasound was held at Bali International Hospital (BIH).

Following the workshops, the summit continued with a two-day symposium at BIH. The discussions centered on cutting-edge practices in modern surgery, ranging from robotic surgery techniques and stomach-sparing procedures (Pylorus Preserving Gastrectomy) to the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols for major digestive procedures.

For the Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, this was an invaluable momentum. The presence of world-class surgical mentors—such as Go Wakabayashi, MD, PhD, FACS, and Prof. Iswanto Sucandy, MD, FACS—offered a rare opportunity for faculty members and resident physicians (PPDS) to observe global practice standards firsthand.

Beyond updating clinical knowledge, the active involvement of the academic community of FM Udayana University in forums like this is expected to inject fresh momentum into future innovations in digestive surgical care.
