About SACO keyboard_arrow_down

The  Argentinian Society of Surgery of Obesity, Metabolic Disease and Other Obesity-Related Diseases (SACO) has, since 2000, brought together Argentinian bariatric surgeons and the various disciplines involved in the treatment of this pathology. The Society is based on the following ideals: to promote scientific progress in the diagnosis, clinical evaluation and treatment of morbid obesity and superobesity, to collaborate with national and regional General Surgery Societies, to strengthen ties with similar international societies, and to be a full member of IFSO (INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION FOR THE SURGERY OF OBESITY AND METABOLIC DISORDERS).

 

Every year it holds a scientific congress that brings together renowned Argentinian and foreign professionals seeking to offer academic quality, peer interaction, and closer inter-society ties.
