Greetings

It is our great pleasure to host the 2nd joint meeting of Tri-Head and Neck Society in Osaka, Japan, on September 18th through 20th. Tri-HNS is the joint society of Japan, Korea, and Taiwan society of head and neck surgery, and was first held in 2022 by Korian Society of Head and Neck Surgery. The meeting was in hybrid format due to sustained COVID-19 pandemic, and this is the first time of on-site only meeting. This is the great opportunity to exchange the most updated information in many aspects of the head and neck surgery, integrate the clinical and basic research, and to establish the strong bonds and friendship between the societies. The programs consist of keynote lectures, Symposia, and Panel Discussions to provide and share the latest advancements, developments, and knowledge from each society faculties.

Osaka is the 3rd biggest city in Japan, and is located at the central part of Japan with convenient access from Asian countries. There are many places to go including the Osaka Castle, Universal Studio, Aquarium “Kaiyu-kan”, others. Osaka is also famous as the city of food which has a variety of food including “B-level gourmet” such as Tako-yaki, Okonomi-yaki, Kushi-katsu, etc. Osaka is said the city where you eat until you drop.

Lastly, we really look forward to welcoming you to Osaka and believe your participation will definitely result in the successful scientific learning as well as the establishment of the tight friendship between Japan Society for Head and Neck Surgery (JSHNS), Korean Society of Head and Neck Surgery (KSHNS), and Taiwan Society of Head and Neck Surgery (THNS).
