Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Innovators,

On behalf of the Society of European Robotic Gynecological Surgery, it is with great pleasure and anticipation that I invite you to our 18th Annual Conference, to be held in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2026.

As president of the Society, I am honored to welcome you to what promises to be our most forward-looking and dynamic meeting to date. Set in the beautiful and technologically progressive city of Stockholm, the 2026 conference will bring together thought leaders, surgeons, researchers, and innovators from around the world to explore the next era of gynecologic robotic surgery.

This year's theme centers around emerging technologies and their real-world application in advancing surgical care. Our scientific program will highlight:

• Next-generation robotic platforms and their clinical impact
• The role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in surgical planning, navigation, and intraoperative support
• The growing reality of telesurgery, cross-border surgical collaboration, and remote mentorship
• New training paradigms, including simulation-based learning, telementoring, and hands-on robotic skills development
• Ethical, legal, and human factors shaping the evolution of digital surgery

In addition to plenary sessions and live demonstrations, the conference will feature dedicated eduactional modules, including simulation-based workshops and certification opportunities for surgeons looking to expand their skillset in gynaecologic robotics. This focus reflects our society’s commitment not only to innovation but also to safe and structured surgical education.

I warmly invite you to join us in Stockholm to connect, learn, and lead. Whether you are a pioneer in the field or just beginning your robotic journey, this meeting will offer a unique platform to engage with the future of gynaecologic surgery.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sweden in 2026.

Warm regards,
Henrik Falconer
SERGS President and SERGS 2026 Local chair
