The Society of Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeons (SLS) Special Interest Groups (SIG) support the organization's educational mission. Members of the SIGs present the popular updates at MISWeek, The Future of MIS, taking an important leadership role in preparing physicians for the future.

The SIGs "meet" and communicate online via email throughout the year. At the members' convenience, they have the opportunity to communicate with colleagues from all over the world who share the same professional interests.

Participation in the SIGs  is open to SLS members. If you are interested in joining, contact Membership@SLS.org  If you would like to read the SIG Guidelines, click here.
