Welcome Message

To Our Distinguished Colleagues and Valued Industry Partners, It gives me great pleasure to extend a warm invitation to the 2nd edition of the Dubai Hernia Summit, taking place from January 30 to February 1, 2026, at the Ritz-Carlton DIFC, Dubai, UAE. Following the overwhelming success of our inaugural summit in 2025, which brought together over 400 participants—including top-tier international and regional faculty, surgeons, and key industry partners—we are proud to return with an even more ambitious and impactful program.
This year, the Dubai Hernia Summit will host the inaugural International Congress dedicated to the complexities of Diastasis Recti repair techniques, alongside emerging technologies and innovations.
The event will advance its mission of promoting excellence in hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction through a robust scientific agenda.
Attendees can expect in-depth discussions led by experts, advanced case reviews, and critical debates focusing on the latest advancements and evidence-based methodologies. Our commitment to enhancing education, fostering collaboration, and driving clinical innovation remains central to the objectives of the Summit.
In 2026, we will introduce dedicated full-day pre-conference workshops for sponsors and technology partners to present their robotic systems, surgical devices, and new product lines.
This initiative responds to the rising demand for hands-on experiences and the role of innovation in hernia care, providing attendees with insights into using these tools in their practice.
As we continue to build momentum, I encourage surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals to join us and participate in this important dialogue.
Additionally, we enthusiastically invite our valued sponsors and exhibitors to capitalize on the enhanced visibility, direct engagement, and strategic positioning that the Summit offers.
Together, let us drive innovation, improve outcomes, and shape the future of hernia surgery. I look forward to welcoming you to Dubai for what promises to be an exceptional summit.

Sincerely,

Sherif

Sherif Beshara
Conference Chairman
Group CEO of Mohamed
