This year’s theme, minimally invasive surgery, reflects our commitment to advancing women’s health through cutting-edge science, compassionate care, and interdisciplinary collaboration. We encourage you to take full advantage of the networking opportunities, educational sessions, and hands-on experiences designed to enrich your knowle-dge and practice.
This year, eminent gynecological oncological surgeons and experts in radical surgery of endometriosis and hysteroscopy will participate. This Congress represents a great starting point, assuming an important role in returning to training, education, and the continuous updating of future gynecological surgery.
Finally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, partners, and the organising committee for their invaluable contributions to making this congress a success. Your dedication and support foster a vibrant and dynamic community of gynecological professionals. A special thanks to Armando Romeo for his huge support in the organisation of the scientific program.
