The International Society of Surgery, or the Société Internationale de Chirurgie, is an international society of surgeons founded in 1902.[1][2]

It contributes to raising awareness of accessing surgery worldwide.[3]

The International Society of Surgery (ISS) transferred its home office from Brussels to Basle (Switzerland) in 1986, and in 2016 to Zurich. The ISS/SIC is organising its biannual meeting by touring world wide rotating between EMEA, Asia/Pacific and the Americas. Ari Leppäniemi is the current president and Kenneth Boffard Secretary General.
