History of the Society and Objectives
SELSMAR (Society of Endoscopic, Laparoscopic, and Robotic Surgeons of Malaysia) was formed to bring together surgeons from all over the world and Malaysia specifically. With a focus on Endoscopic-Laparoscopic techniques, SELSMAR functions as a platform for surgeons with special interest in this field to congregate their ideas, learn new techniques and educate others.
Formed in the year 2012, SELSMAR is the brainchild of a group of esteemed surgeons with a common interest and goal. Thus far, SELSMAR has successfully conducted 3 congresses with an array of various surgeons from across the globe as speakers.
SELSMAR is also part of a bigger society, ELSA or also known as the Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia. SELSMAR takes pride in its members who are the crème de la crème from various surgical subspecialties.
