Submit Abstract

Welcome to the 28th annual congress of the European Society of Surgery.

We've built a long standing relationship based on trust

Here’s the thing. This congress isn’t just another date in the surgical calendar. It’s where ideas sharpen, partnerships form, and the next chapter of innovation begins. Dubai gives us the perfect backdrop for that. The city blends ambition, safety, and global connectivity like few places can.

What this really means is that you’ll be stepping into an environment designed to inspire. Expect thought-provoking sessions, hands-on workshops, and conversations that stay with you long after the event. Leaders from across Europe and beyond will gather to explore new techniques, challenge assumptions, and shape the future of surgery together.

Between sessions, the city itself becomes part of the experience. Whether it’s the skyline, the hospitality, or the energy that never seems to dim, Dubai has a way of making every moment memorable.

So get ready for an event that’s equal parts learning, collaboration, and discovery. We look forward to welcoming you in November 2026 — where the European Society of Surgery meets the spirit of a city built on possibility.
