The 16th Biennial Congress of the European African-Hepato-Pancreato Biliary Association (E-AHPBA) is a significant event for professionals specializing in hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery and related fields. These congresses typically provide a platform for experts to share the latest research findings, advancements in surgical techniques, and discuss challenging cases in the field. It's a great opportunity for networking and collaboration among surgeons, researchers, and other healthcare professionals interested in HPB diseases and surgeries across Europe and Africa.

Hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery is a specialized branch of surgery that deals with disorders and diseases affecting the liver, pancreas, and biliary system (including the gallbladder and bile ducts). These disorders can range from benign conditions like gallstones to complex malignancies such as liver or pancreatic cancer. HPB surgeons are highly trained in the surgical management of these conditions, which often require intricate procedures due to the complex anatomy and vital functions of the organs involved.
