The scientific programme is at the heart of the EHS 2027 Congress, and offers the latest knowledge and practice‑focused insight for surgeons working in hernia and abdominal wall surgery.
Under the theme Facing Facts, the programme challenges current thinking by examining innovation alongside real world evidence and clinical outcomes. The focus is on what truly works in practice, supported by data, experience and critical discussion. With a broad and carefully structured scientific programme, EHS 2027 allows participants to personalise their congress experience.
