This article outlines the global surgery activities held at the 66th Annual International Meeting of the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons (BAPS) in 2019. For the first time BAPS introduced a plenary session on global surgery. Topics that were covered include management of birth defects in Low-Middle Income Countries (LMIC), mostly gastroschisis, and community-based involvement in children's surgery, knowing that 2.5 billion children worldwide do not have access to surgical care. The presentation on financial burden for families with children needing surgical care highlighted the route to poverty in the absence of governmental support. The Hugh Greenwood lecture covered the involvement of a global organisation, namely Global Initiative for Children's Surgery (GICS) advocating and working towards children's surgery, as this was ignored at the Lancet Commission held in 2015. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V.
本文概述了 2019 年第 66 届英国儿外科医师协会(BAPS)年会上举行的全球外科学活动。BAPS 首次引入了一个关于全球外科学的全体会议。涵盖的主题包括中低收入国家(LMIC)出生缺陷的管理,主要是腹裂,以及社区参与儿童手术,因为全球有 25 亿儿童无法获得手术护理。关于有需要手术护理的儿童的家庭经济负担的介绍强调了在没有政府支持的情况下陷入贫困的途径。休·格林伍德讲座涵盖了全球组织的参与,即全球儿童外科学倡议(GICS),该组织倡导和努力开展儿童外科学,而这在 2015 年举行的柳叶刀委员会上被忽视了。证据水平:V 级。
