“There should be more training centers for robotic surgery, especially in Asia.” Dr. Iswanto Sucandy shared in our latest interview. “Right now, most opportunities are based in the West, making it difficult for surgeons here to take time away from their clinical work. Bringing that training closer to home is the best approach.”

He also emphasized that becoming an HPB surgeon is a step-by-step journey — beginning with strong foundations in general surgery before advancing into specialized robotic techniques. By expanding access to training, more surgeons across Asia can take those next steps with confidence and bring innovation closer to where it’s needed most.

In modern practice, almost every hepato-biliary surgery can be performed safely through laparoscopy. As Dr. Charles points out in our latest interview, the arrival of robotic surgical techniques has elevated the field — offering greater precision in parenchyma dissection and the confidence to redefine how surgeons approach complex liver procedures.

Our upcoming HPB course from December 18-20 is an opportunity to refine your skills in vascular control, portal vein resection, and postoperative fistula management. We look forward to seeing you there!

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Miguel “Ike” Mendoza, one of our faculty, to discuss the growing interest in advanced minimally invasive surgery across the Philippines.

With the country’s minimally invasive surgery market projected to reach USD 219.84 billion by 2032, the adoption of robotics, imaging systems, and innovative surgical instruments is accelerating.

Through annual events and collaborations with Philippine Surgical Societies and Hospital visits, IRCAD Taiwan remains committed to advancing surgical training and strengthening connections in the region.

From August 21–23, our team at IRCAD Taiwan had the privilege of partnering with SuiGeneris Missions in Taytay, Palawan. Hosted at Palawan Provincial Hospital, the mission aimed to support patients who often lack access to modern surgical technology, facilities, or financial resources needed for care. Over the three days, Sui Generis with the IRCAD Taiwan team treated an extraordinary 1,443 cases—ensuring that every patient received the attention they needed.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sui Generis Executive Director Justice Geraldine Econg and Mission Director Dr. Henry Chua, whose leadership made this event possible. We are also proud to have a joint effort with our deans, faculty, and the Show Chwan Group—Drs 黃士維院長 - 微創機器人手術權威消化道疝氣專家 - 秀傳醫療體系Wayne Huang, 林忠葦醫師的甘味人生-肝胃腫瘤微創手術 Charles Lin, David Chen, Conrad Ballecer, Quan-Yang Duh, 痔瘡專科中部唯一女醫 - 林安仁An Jen Lin, and Gabriel Villa—for heeding the call and generously sharing their time and expertise in support of bringing surgical care to communities where it can make a real difference.

The shift of hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HPB) surgery from open procedures to minimally invasive techniques has been a game changer. To navigate this learning curve, surgeons must master a new set of skills. Since launching our Advanced Course in Minimally Invasive HPB Surgery, we have been committed to supporting aspiring surgeons as they bring this expertise into their practice.

From December 18–20, our course will offer diverse training across pancreas, liver, and biliary cases, guided by our international faculty, who will share their unique perspectives and remain dedicated to advancing and ensuring the highest quality training for future HPB surgeons at IRCAD Taiwan.

We sat down with Dr. Akinoso Olujimi Coker, a specialist in surgical training with a career spanning more than two decades.

Currently based in Nigeria, he plays a key role in advancing laparoscopic surgical expertise in the management of gallstones, hernias, appendicitis, and colorectal cancer, as well as in complex proctology and diagnostic/therapeutic colonoscopy.

Through this interview, we were honored to share his African surgical experience on an international stage—building bridges and enriching the global dialogue on minimally invasive surgery.

Dr. Coker also highlighted how AI and big data analytics are transforming the surgical field. While a clinician may interpret a hundred CT images, AI algorithms can analyze millions, detecting subtle patterns and anomalies that might otherwise be overlooked. This technology enables earlier and more accurate diagnoses, improves patient outcomes, and provides crucial support for surgeons in time-sensitive settings such as emergency departments or when managing high patient volumes. In procedures such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, AI further enhances safety by guiding navigation through critical zones like the Triangle of Safety—advancing both precision and patient care.
