Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Friends,

It is with great excitement and honor that I warmly welcome you to the 2025 APAGE Annual Congress in the dynamic city of Shanghai, China. We look forward to offering a fulfilling experience that blends Shanghai’s modern energy with its rich cultural heritage.

APAGE plays a key role in advancing gynecological innovation and research. Breakthroughs like VNOTES and studies such as MITOR have inspired many physicians to pursue new heights. These accomplishments are the result of our APAGE members’ and faculty’s dedication.

In 2024, APAGE held numerous hands-on workshops on Single-port, NOTES, Reproductive, and Endometriosis, along with webinars in collaboration with hospitals and international societies worldwide. The feedback has been very positive and encouraging.

The 2025 APAGE Annual Congress in Shanghai will be an excellent platform for exchanging knowledge, showcasing the latest in minimally invasive and non-invasive gynecologic therapies, and sharing new ideas. Our program will include workshops, keynote lectures, and live surgery demonstrations, focusing on cutting-edge trends and techniques.

Good day to you all! It is a profound honor and privilege to welcome you all to Shanghai for the 2025 APAGE Annual Congress.

At Tongji University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital (Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital), we have long been guided by a dedication to progress and collaboration. Alongside our peers in Shanghai’s vibrant medical community, we have embraced the challenges of advancing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Together, we have made strides in areas such as robotic-assisted oncologic procedures, single-port techniques for large uterus resection, complex pelvic adhesion surgeries, and fertility-preserving treatments for gynecologic malignancies. These endeavors reflect not just technical breakthroughs but a deep commitment to transforming the lives of our patients and shaping the future of women’s health.

The theme of this congress, ‘Minimally Invasive Therapy: Innovation, Impact, and Future,’ aptly captures our collective pursuit of excellence. This gathering offers an unparalleled opportunity to exchange insights, share groundbreaking research, and chart new directions in our field.
