While IPEG is focused on the advancement of minimally invasive techniques in children, the society has always broadly encouraged innovative approaches to surgical treatment in children. The charge of NISC is to continually pursue a three-step process to identify developing biomedical advances from which pediatric surgeons and our patients will benefit:
(1) Environmental Scanning: Using individual experiences and expertise, the Committee should strive to make a broad, inclusive list of contemporary innovations that may affect pediatric surgical care
(2) Prioritization: Subsequently, committee members should seek consensus amongst themselves regarding which innovations are most likely to affect IPEG membership
(3) Dissemination: The Committee should seek a venue by which to educate IPEG membership on the highest priority innovations. This could be by way of formal seminar, educational materials, or new collaborative efforts.

IPEG Stands with Ukraine
The Executive Committee of the International Pediatric Endosurgery Group condemns the military actions by the Russian Government in the Ukraine. This attack on a sovereign nation is not consistent with the values and principles of IPEG and the international medical community. As an international organization dedicated to enhancing child health through education and access to minimally invasive surgery for all children of the world, we stand in solidarity with our Ukrainian friends, colleagues, children, and people.
