🎤 Presentation at #EAES2026 completed!

My first congress in Europe 🇬🇷

I presented on colorectal surgery, even though I’m an HPB surgeon 😅

The questions were so natural that I couldn’t catch everything 😆

Still, it was a great learning experience! 🌍✨

Very grateful for the warm feedback after my presentation at JSHBPS 2026.

It was especially encouraging to hear that surgical illustrations can truly help communicate complex HPB anatomy and operative strategy across institutions.

[Naoki Yagi @NaokiYagi88]

そう言っていただけて本当に励みになります。

まだまだ発展途上ですが、これからも頑張ります！

Just three days after my first international conference, I ran the Gunma Marathon — 42.195 km! 🏃‍♂️

Our entire surgical team managed to finish the full marathon together!
Feeling tired but proud and grateful for such a great day. 🙏💪
