The International Pediatric Endosurgery Group (IPEG) is a surgical society founded in 1991 to promote the practice of pediatric surgery with minimally invasive and innovative surgeries around the world[1] through the annual conference and Mastery Learning Series workshops[2].
The IPEG headquarters is in Los Angeles, California but IPEG membership is open to all international surgeons. The IPEG has two subdivisions; the Latin chapter and the Middle East Chapter. The IPEG is governed by its constitution that was last revised in January 2011[3].
IPEG is the pediatric equivalent society for minimally invasive surgeries as the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) is for adults.
History
