The digestive surgeons met at ISW as the Collegium Internationale Chirurgiae Digestivae (CICD) in 1991, a participating society in International Surgical Week, but then became fully integrated into the ISS/SIC as the International Society of Digestive Surgeons (ISDS) after the 2009 congress in Adelaide. German and Japanese surgeons were not invited to attend the congress in London, war wounds still fresh in many memories. 5 Three Gentlemen of Basel: Martin Allgower (1917-2007) (left), Felix Harder (center), and Victor Bertschi (right) As well, these gentlemen recognized the need and the benefit of integrating specialty societies within the ISS/SIC, as general surgeons increasingly focused their practices and their scientific investigations into specialty niches around the world. 4 Rudolf Nissen (1896-1981) (left) and Ferdinand Sauerbruch (1895-1951) (right) As a young promising academic surgeon, Dr Rudolf Nissen was accepted as a protégé of Ferdinand Sauerbruch, the professor of surgery at the most famous hospital in Germany, Charité in Berlin.
