Es un grato honor para nosotros, extenderles una invitación al IV Congreso Latino-Americano de Cirugía Bariátrica y Metabólica, que se llevará a cabo en la Ciudad de Cartagena de Indias – Colombia del 15 al 18 de marzo del año 2011.
En este evento, que es de la mayor importancia para nuestra región, tendremos la oportunidad de escuchar a las figuras más destacadas de nuestro continente en el área de cirugía Bariátrica y Metabólica, al igual que a profesores invitados de otras partes del mundo. Haremos énfasis en las discusiones y en las mesas redondas para poder aprender de nuestra experiencia latino-américana.
Ya la Cirugía Bariátrica es reconocida por toda la comunidad científica como la mejor opción terapéutica en el manejo de la obesidad severa actualmente, pero todavía nos queda un largo camino para lograr este mismo objetivo con las enfermedades metabólicas.
Las bellas playas del Caribe colombiano y su cálido clima nos permitirán compartir agradables momentos donde podremos intercambiar opiniones sobre este tema que tanto nos apasiona.
Los invitamos a conocer y disfrutar de nuestro país en el marco del encuentro regional más importante del continente en el tema de la Cirugía Bariátrica y Metabólica.
Dr. Rami Mikler – Dr.Nathan Zundel
Presidentes
IV Congreso Latino-Americano de Cirugía Bariátrica y Metabólica
