AGES Peri-Operative Surgical Meeting<\/h1>\nGrand Hyatt, Melbourne
\nThursday 28th – Saturday 30th August 2025\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tContact us\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

Welcome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t

On behalf of the Australasian Gynaecological Endoscopy & Surgery Society, we warmly welcome you to Melbourne, Victoria, for the inaugural AGES Perioperative Surgical Meeting (PSM) 2025<\/strong>.\u00a0This year’s theme, “Teams, Tools, and Techniques<\/strong>,” will explore the intersection of high-performing teams, advanced surgical tools, and innovative techniques. Our goal is to inspire delegates to reimagine the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative patient journey while also focusing on the crucial well-being of the healthcare teams involved in patient care.<\/p>\n

We are excited to take a multifaceted approach in this conference, which will not only delve deeply into the patient experience, but also place a strong emphasis on\u00a0surgical techniques<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0best practices<\/strong>\u00a0in gynaecology. This is a unique opportunity for attendees to refine their surgical skills and expand their understanding of the latest advancements in the field. We are dedicated to exploring both the human and technical aspects of surgery, from the team dynamics in theatre to the physical tools that enhance our clinical abilities.<\/p>\n

For the first time<\/strong>, we will feature an entire\u00a0session dedicated to video communications<\/strong>\u00a0submitted by our members, offering a platform for real-world insights into surgical techniques and tips and tricks to tackle different pathology or technology. This innovative session will allow us to learn from each other’s experiences and showcase the diverse ways in which we approach surgical practice.<\/p>\n

The program promises to be an exciting blend of theory and practice, with three days packed with thought-provoking content. Day one will feature hands-on workshops, specifically designed to meet the needs of all craft groups involved in gynaecological perioperative care. On the following days, delegates will have the chance to attend both plenary and concurrent sessions, where they can engage with cutting-edge research from junior and senior researchers, and explore the latest clinical developments.<\/p>\n

We are honoured to welcome our international faculty, who will join our esteemed local and interstate faculty line-up. Together, they will bring fresh perspectives and invaluable expertise to the discussion.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0AGES PSM<\/strong>\u00a0will be held at the\u00a0Grand Hyatt, Melbourne<\/strong>, a vibrant location at the heart of the city. Melbourne is known for its exceptional dining, rich cultural experiences, and beautiful parks. While August brings a winter chill, the city will be buzzing with energy. For those who enjoy live performances, Keith Urban will be playing at Rod Laver Arena, and popular musicals such as\u00a0Annie<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Beetlejuice<\/em>\u00a0will be showing in local theatres. Take the opportunity to explore Melbourne’s surrounding wine regions, including the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, and Bellarine Peninsula, all within an hour’s drive. Whether you’re a foodie, an outdoor enthusiast, or a lover of the arts, Melbourne has something to offer.<\/p>\n

We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and grow together in Melbourne. We look forward to welcoming you to this exceptional conference experience!<\/p>\n
