The aim of the IAAS is to promote the development and growth of high quality ambulatory surgery worldwide.
The aim of the IAAS is to promote the development and growth of high quality ambulatory surgery worldwide. To this end, it encourages an international exchange of ideas and stimulates programmes of education, research and audit. The IAAS publishes the journal Ambulatory Surgery, holds biennial international congresses, assists with national meetings and lobbies national and international healthcare bodies. These activities have resulted in the founding of new national associations for ambulatory surgery, a growth in ambulatory surgery rates worldwide and the incorporation of ambulatory surgery in the strategies of an increasing number of national healthcare providers and international bodies.
Founded to promote high quality ambulatory surgery worldwide, the IAAS provides an international multidisciplinary forum for sharing information on the practice and development of this innovative approach to providing surgical care. This is facilitated by a biennial congress and Advisory Assembly. Full Members may send two delegates to the annual General Assembly meeting.
Welcome to Ambulatory Surgery. This edition of the Journal has been edited in line with the forthcoming 2026 Congress of the IAAS, that will be taking place in Dubrovnik, Croatia, on 18th to 20th May, 2026. Enclosed are the abstracts of free papers submitted, for your perusal.
