OSSI 2023
Obesity clinics globally are increasingly adopting the multidisciplinary approach and OSSICON 2023 intends to highlight the same. The congress will showcase the representation of talents from across the country through abstract presentation of their clinical and research work. To this end, there will be sessions on holistic approach to obesity associated diseases such as diabetes, sleep apnea, arthritis, infertility, GERD and liver diseases. This is apart from the demonstration of skilled surgeries, sessions on procedure selection, complications, talks on weight regain and revisions. Young OSSI will also get a great platform to showcase their stellar work. Then conference will have allied health professionals in a bigger way in the 3 day meeting.
Moreover, the congress also will showcase the use of registry, robotics, artificial intelligence and medical apps that will redefine bariatric practice in future.
