Introduction
The 8th World Congress of the Abdominal Compartment Society in Banff in 2017 follows on the previous successful meetings in Ghent, Cartagena, Colombia, Orlando, USA and Dublin, Ireland, Antwept, Belgium, and Noosa, Australia.
The WSACS was formed in Australia after the second World Congress in 2004 and was primarily a multidisciplinary society of clinicians involved in day-to-day care of seriously ill and injured patients. Although originally a small the Society has been incredibly productive in writing and knowledge translation with the generation of a textbook and Internationally accepted Consensus Guidelines concerning the Definitions, Management, and Research Methodology, which undergo continuous re-evaluation and reassessment with new knowledge. As such the Society has recently updated its practice guidelines on ACS is fostering a greater understanding worldwide of intra-abdominal hypertension and ACS.
