Abstract

<p>The Tokyo Guidelines (TG) was launched in 2003 under the Project for assessing Medical technology sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare(H–15–Medicine–30), Labour and Welfare, and published with the support of the co–organizing societies and supporting organizations. After successful publication of the first edition in 2005, we organized an International Consensus Conference to step up this guidelines toward the Global one for global validation of the guideline. After this conference, we published TG07 (English version) in The Journal of Hepato–Biliary–Pancreatic Surgery (JHBPS). Subsequently, TG13 and TG18 were developed and published in 2013 and 2018, respectively, in collaboration with the committee members abroad. In line with the more evolved publishing methods of the times, Evidence–Practice–Cycle was adopted. Two international collaborative researches, namely, Lap–C (laparoscopic cholecystectomy)’s “Road to Safety” and the results of an epidemiological study on acute biliary infection are described in TG18.</p>
