As a first-year surgical registrar, I am Jonathan Ko, deeply passionate about general surgery. Eager to contribute to the field, I am applying to present at the upcoming surgical conference, submitting an abstract that reflects my passion for the field. My journey in research includes the publication of 11 papers in General Surgery. I have showcased my work at the WSES congress 2021 and ICS conference 2021 through posters, and delivered an oral presentation at WSES 2022. Committed to advancing surgical knowledge, I am excited at the opportunity to share insights and learn from esteemed colleagues at this conference.
