Nordic surgical collaboration has long traditions.The Scandinavian Surgical Society (SSS) / Nordisk Kirurgisk Förening (NKF) was founded in 1893, and is the oldest international surgical association in the world. All the surgeons in the Nordic countries belong to the Nordic Surgical Society through their national surgical associations.
