Dear Colleagues and Hernia Friends,
Five hundred years ago, Portuguese navigators embarked on a remarkable journey of exploration, setting sail from their shores to discover new worlds and connect civilizations. Their daring spirit forever changed the map of our planet.
Today, we invite you to be part of a new kind of discovery – a professional and intellectual journey at the European Hernia Society’s (EHS) Annual International Congress 2026, in the historic city of Porto, Portugal.
From June 3-5, 2026, the EHS will bring together the best and brightest in hernia and abdominal wall surgery, to share groundbreaking research, innovative techniques, and the latest clinical insights.
This congress will be more than just a meeting… Our 2026 Conference will be a global forum for collaboration and learning.
The EHS Annual International Congress is the premier European platform for hernia and abdominal wall surgery professionals. The congress unites leading surgeons, researchers, and industry leaders from across the globe, to share cutting-edge research, discuss advancements in surgical techniques, and explore innovative medical technologies.
