THE SOCIETY FOR SURGERY OF THE ALIMENTARY TRACT
ACCREDITATION STATEMENT
American
College of
Surgeons
Division of
Education
This activity has been planned and implemented in
accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of
the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) through the joint sponsorship of
the American College of Surgeons and the Society for
Surgery of the Alimentary Tract. The American College
of Surgeons is accredited by the ACCME to provide
continuing medical education (CME) for physicians.
AMA PRA CATEGORY 1 CREDITS™
The American College of Surgeons designates this educational activity
for a maximum of 23.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians
should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their
participation in the activity.
DISCLOSURES
Please refer to the following pages for a complete listing of program
committee, moderator, and speaker disclosures.
DISCLOSURE INDEX
In compliance with ACCME regulations, the American College of
Surgeons (ACS), as the accredited provider of this activity, must ensure
that anyone in a position to control the content of the educational
activity has disclosed all relevant financial relationships with any
commercial interest. All reported conflicts are managed by a designated
official to ensure a bias-free presentation. Program committee members
and moderators were required to disclose all financial relationships, and
speakers were required to disclose any financial relationship as it
pertains to the content of the presentations. ACS defines a “commercial
interest” as any proprietary entity producing health care goods or services
consumed by, or used on patients. The ACCME does not consider providers
of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests. The
ACS considers “relevant” financial relationships as financial transactions
(in any amount) occurring within the past 12 months that may create a
conflict of interest.
ACS is also required, through our joint sponsorship partners, to manage
any reported conflict and eliminate the potential for bias during the
activity. Moderators and program committee members (if applicable)
and speakers were contacted, and the conflicts listed on the following
pages have been managed to our satisfaction. However, if you perceive
a bias during a session, please report the circumstances on the session
evaluation form.
Please note we have advised the speakers that it is their responsibility
to disclose at the start of their presentation if they will be describing the
use of a device, product, or drug that is not FDA approved or the offlabel use of an approved device, product, or drug or unapproved usage.
The requirement for disclosure is not intended to imply any impropriety
of such relationships, but simply to identify such relationships through
full disclosure, and to allow the audience to form its own judgments
regarding the presentation.

The Society was incorporated on March 30, 1960,
and was initially named the Association for Colon
Surgery. The founding membership consisted of
authors who had contributed papers to six issues of
the Surgical Clinics of North America edited by
Dr. Turell and the authors of the chapters in his
textbook Diseases of the Colon and Anorectum. In
the beginning it was thought advisable to limit
the Society’s interest to surgery of the colon, but
Dr. Robert Turell Dr. Cole proposed that the name be changed to The
Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract to reflect
wide interest in abdominal surgery. Dr. Robert
Zollinger, the Society’s third president, gave a
convincing address entitled “Justifying our
Existence.”2 He noted that papers related to the
alimentary tract made up less than half of the
programs of other societies including the American
College of Surgeons Clinical Congress, and that SSAT
was the only North American organization focused
on surgical problems of the entire alimentary tract,
a situation which still exists today.
Dr. John Waugh
The requirements for membership in the Society
have been a matter of frequent debate since its
inception. In 1965, five years after the founding of
the society, the Board of Trustees directed that the

The history of the SSAT begins in 1957 when
Dr. Robert Turell dreamed “of launching a new
surgical organization oriented to the problems of
the alimentary tract and of creating a research or
educational foundation.”1 He discussed the
possibility of a new society with many prominent
surgeons and many discouraged him, but he found
substantial support from Dr. Warren Cole, who
agreed to help under the condition that Dr. John
Waugh would assist in the formation of the society.
The three met in Rochester, Minnesota, at which
time Dr. Waugh confessed that he had been
entertaining similar thoughts for a society devoted
to the advancement of alimentary surgery.
membership should be enlarged rather than restricted to a small group.
The first constitution of the Society was approved that same year. The
requirements for membership were:
3. Certification by a board that is a member of the Board of the
American Board of Medical Specialties, the Royal College of
Physicians and Surgeons in Canada or an equivalent body; and
1. Fellowship in the American College of Surgeons or its equivalent;
and
2. Demonstrated interest in the function and disease of the alimentary
tract as evidenced by fundamental research or by publication of
significant papers.
4. An interest in surgical aspects of digestive disease. The most
important part of the proposal was that applications for
membership could be initiated by the applicant.
The result of these changes has been a substantial increase in the
membership of the Society in recent years.
In 1984, the Board of Trustees became concerned over the lack of growth
and again decided that the publication requirement should be liberalized.
Dr. James Thompson, Chairman of the Board, noted that “the ascendancy
of our collegial organization, the American Gastroenterological Association
(AGA), to a position of great importance, many believe, dates from its
adoption of the recommendation of Dr. Mort Grossman that it be an
egalitarian and not an elitist organization.” Dr. Thompson urged the
membership to identify surgeons practicing alimentary surgery in their
community and propose them for membership. At this time, the only
membership criteria were certification by the American Board of Surgery
or its equivalent, membership in the American College of Surgeons or its
equivalent, and an interest in gastrointestinal surgery.
In 1993, President-Elect Dr. Bernard Langer set an agenda that focused on
three important issues facing the Society: first, the creation of advanced
training programs in gastrointestinal surgery; second, the need to increase
substantially the membership of the Society to include the vast majority
of surgeons practicing alimentary tract surgery in North America; and
third, an assessment of starting the Society’s own journal of gastrointestinal
surgery. During his presidency, Dr. Langer convened a task force that recommended to the Board a campaign to aggressively recruit members, a
change in the membership process to one of direct application, and the
creation of a trainee membership. The proposed criteria for membership
were:
1. A degree from a medical school acceptable to the Board of
Trustees;
2. A license to practice medicine in the applicant’s state, providence
or country;
16
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Initially, the number of published papers was flexible, but by 1981, sixteen
years later, the requirement for at least 10 publications became the law of
the membership committee. As a result, the society’s growth flattened.
The development of the Society’s own journal took many years. The
founders of the organization wished to live in harmony with the already
established surgical organizations, which precluded consideration of
an independent journal. After the first annual meeting, several existing
journals expressed interest in publishing the Society’s papers the publication of the papers presented at the first annual meeting. Ultimately, a
decision was made to publish in the American Journal of Surgery, edited
by Dr. Zollinger; that journal subsequently published the papers presented
at the Society for the next ten years. Only once during that period, in
1965, the Society reviewed the possibility of publishing its own journal,
but thought it not to be desirable at the time. In 1970, the American
Journal of Surgery became the official journal of the Society, with all
members subscribing to the journal as part of their membership.
The issue resurfaced again in 1993 as one of Dr. Langer’s three important
decisions facing the Society. The issue became part of the agenda of the
special task force convened during his presidency. In response to the
report of the task force, the Board appointed a Publication Committee,
17
chaired by Dr. Keith Kelly, to study the issue. At its October, 1995 meeting, the Board accepted the recommendation of the Publication Committee to proceed with establishing an SSAT journal. The name selected was
the Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery. Most importantly, the journal
was to be owned and copyrighted by the Society. The Board made the
decision to have dual editors and appointed Drs. Keith Kelly and John
Cameron to the position.
Foundation. Dr. Morton Grossman addressed the SSAT’s Board of Trustees at
its 1970 meeting, explaining that the goal of the Federation and Foundation
was to develop a National Digestive Disease Institute similar to the National
Cancer Institute. The purpose of the Institute would be to support research,
education of the lay public, unify public relations and initiate legislation
regarding digestive diseases. He expressed the hope that our Society
would join both organizations. There was considerable discussion of Dr.
Grossman’s presentation, and the decision was made to join both the
Federation and Foundation.
The following year, Dr. Nyhus reported to the Society that the AGA had
taken an interest in our Society because of the desire to have surgeons
involved in discussions about digestive disease with governmental agencies.
This provided an opportunity for the two societies to discuss a variety of
issues, including the possibility of a joint annual meeting. At that time,
the SSAT’s annual meeting was held in conjunction with the AMA meeting,
and it was suggested that SSAT change its meeting dates to coincide with
the AGA.
The AGA, in moving towards its goal of obtaining research dollars, formed
both a Federation of Digestive Disease Societies and a Digestive Disease
18
When the action of the Board was reported at the Society’s annual business
meeting, Dr. Ward Griffen took the issue of integration with the AGA
one step further and recommended that the membership be polled
regarding moving the meeting of our Society to coincide with the AGA
meeting.
At the 1972 meeting, Dr. Nyhus reported that the poll of the membership showed that eighty percent were strongly in favor of changing the
date and location of the meeting to coincide with the AGA in a so-called
Digestive Disease Week; accordingly, arrangements for a combined
meeting in New York were set for May, 1973.
The combined meeting went exceedingly well and most members enthusiastically supported the motion to continue the arrangement. In October,
1974, six months after the annual meeting, Dr. Robert Zeppa and Dr. Frank
Moody were authorized to attend the newly formed Digestive Disease
Week Council as representatives of our Society. So it was that Digestive
Disease Week came into being.
Four years later, in his presidential address entitled “Cooperation to
Meet the Challenges,”3 Dr. Zeppa reviewed the Society’s decision to join
Digestive Disease Week Council. He noted that financial benefit and
stability came to each of the four societies, namely the AGA, the American
Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), the American Society
for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the SSAT; second, attendance
at our meeting increased; third, the quality of our program improved;
fourth, the educational benefits for our members expanded by the
diversity of programs available; and fifth, there was increased accessibility
for dialogue, formal and informal, with our medical colleagues. He
concluded that the membership was to be congratulated for its wise
decision.
More recently we have furthered our relationship with the component
societies of DDW by contributing to combined clinical symposiums,
19
GENERAL
INFORMATION
From the beginning, SSAT has shown an interest in integrating with
other professional organizations. It all started in 1964, when Dr. Helger
Jenkins urged that a committee be appointed to work out a joint membership with gastroenterologists. Apparently in response to his request,
a Liaison Committee to the AGA was appointed by the Board around
1966. Dr. Lloyd Nyhus chaired the committee. Their charge was to
explore possible ways of bringing the two societies interested in gastrointestinal diseases into closer relationship. The committee found it
impossible to schedule a joint meeting with the AGA and the whole
issue would have been dropped if it was not for the death of a prominent
individual in Minneapolis from ulcerative colitis. The family of the
deceased individual established the Digestive Disease Foundation of
Minneapolis for the purpose of funding research in the broad scope of
digestive diseases. In February, 1967 Dr. Nyhus, still attempting to make
contact with the AGA, attended a conference on Digestive Disease as a
National Problem. This conference was sponsored by the Digestive
Disease Foundation of Minneapolis, the National Institute of Arthritis
and Metabolic Diseases and the AGA. The purpose of the conference was to
stress to the federal government the overall importance of digestive disease
on the American public. Details regarding the prominence of the problem,
the need for continued research, the needs for manpower and a plan to
provide for these needs in the future were presented. As a direct result of
the conference, the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Disease
identified the problem of gastrointestinal disease for in-depth study.
organizing a yearly consensus conference, and integrating appropriate oral
and poster presentations of our papers into AGA focused research sections
and the president’s plenary poster session.
SSAT FOUNDATION
The next year, the Society used its share of DDW profits to fund the
fellowship. Drs. David Nahrwold and Jaffe worked out the process of
application and selection with the understanding that the first award would
be given in 1987. The annual award was subsequently increased step wise
to its current level of $50,000 per year. The majority of its recipients
currently have University appointments and many have ongoing NIH
funding. The program has been a tremendous success.
Five decades after Dr. Turell’s initial imaginings, the SSAT is a strong
organization with a growing membership, strong ties to other disciplines in
medicine involved in the study and treatment of digestive diseases, and a
commitment to support the next generation of alimentary tract surgeons.
The SSAT Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Society for Surgery
of the Alimentary Tract. The Foundation was established in 2000 to help
the Society achieve its mission. Founded over forty years ago, the SSAT
now has a membership of over 2850 physicians and is in the forefront of
its medical specialty. The SSAT’s mission is to stimulate, foster, and provide
surgical leadership in the art and science of patient care; to promote and
support the education and research of the diseases and functions of the
alimentary tract; to provide a forum for the presentation of such research
and educational endeavors; and to foster training and funding opportunities
and scientific publications in support of these activities.
Research and education remain the cornerstone of fulfilling the Society’s
mission, and the Foundation seeks to support the SSAT’s current initiatives
including: the Career Development Award for young faculty members;
the Residents and Fellows Research Conference held at the time of
Digestive Disease Week; the Doris and John L. Cameron Guest Oration;
the Maja and Frank Moody State-of-the-Art Lecture; the Carol and Tom
R. DeMeester Traveling Fellowship for Surgeons within the U.S. or
Canada; and the Karen and Josef E. Fischer International Traveling
Fellowship Award for Surgeons in Academic Practice.
The SSAT Foundation receives support from a variety of sources including
private foundations, industry, and individual friends of the Society,
most notably SSAT members. The Foundation offers a variety of giving
opportunities including charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder
trusts, bequests, and other planned giving instruments. The Foundation
is proud of its supporters and pays special tribute to its donors through
recognition of them in the following list.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
The Society’s founder, Dr. Robert Turell, in his presidential address, spoke
of his dream of creating a research and educational foundation for alimentary
surgery. In practical terms, creating a research and educational foundation
required the development of an enduring source of funding. The first
move in realizing this dream occurred at the Board of Trustees meeting
in October, 1985. Dr. Bernard Jaffe, Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee
on Research and Education, recommended that the Board issue a policy
statement supporting the development of a two year program for postresidency experience in research and clinical surgery of the digestive tract
for the purpose of providing leadership for the discipline in the future.
The committee further recommended that the Society sponsor a Career
Development Award to support individuals involved in this advanced
experience.
