The 6th Asian Australasian Congress of Neurological Surgeons (AACNS)

Leadership of Dr. Hsiang-Lai Wen

The 5th President of the Asian Australasian Society of Neurological Surgeons (AASNS), Dr. Hsiang-Lai Wen of Hong Kong, brought a transformative vision to the Society during his tenure.

A Landmark Event in Hong Kong

In November 1983, Dr. Wen organized the 6th AACNS in Hong Kong, a historic event in the Society’s timeline. For the first time, the AACNS was held as an independent meeting, separate from the joint gatherings traditionally held with the Asian-Australasian Congress of Neurology (AACN).

This separation marked a significant milestone, showcasing the growing prominence and maturity of the neurosurgical community within the region. Dr. Wen’s leadership paved the way for a more focused platform dedicated solely to advancing neurosurgery in the Asian-Australasian region.
