The German Surgeons’ Congress, with about 5,000 visitors each year, is the central forum of the surgery sector in German-speaking countries.

The pre-congress event, which was successfully introduced in 2021, will also introduce and present the ePosters in the form of “Rapid Communication Sessions” to attendees purely virtually at the upcoming DCK. The name “pre-congress” has been changed to “DCK.digital”, but the concept remains identical.

You can expect a highly-varied programme from the various disciplines of surgery at the DCK 2023 in the ICM (International Congress Center Munich) from 26 to 28 April 2023.

The 140th German Surgeons’ Congress is taking place as a face-to-face congress with some online components. The programme will also be streamed online from several auditoriums.
