Sections

The ICS is comprised of approximately 8,000 general surgeons and surgical specialists from 112 countries. Its members are organized into 67 national sections, each directed by its own national officers. These sections are grouped into six federations: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Pacific. Each federation is coordinated by its own federation secretary. All Fellows in good standing are eligible for leadership positions, and geographic representation is customary.
