Česká chirurgická společnost

The Czech HPB Surgery Section is one of the oldest sections of the Czech Surgical Society. It was founded in 1993 by prof. MUDr. Miroslav Ryska, CSc. The section published the HPB Bulletin from 1993 to 2008, which aimed to improve postgraduate education. The section organized numerous events, which became very popular and frequently attended, the most popular of which was the symposium at Loket Castle. In the last few years, the HPB Surgery Section has been managed by MUDr. Jaroslav Pantoflíček, Ph.D.
