Minimally Invasive Surgery Week (MISWeek) 2026

Minimally Invasive Surgery Week (MISWeek) 2026 is organized by Society of Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeons (SLS) and will be held from Dec 02 - 05, 2026 at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel at the Entrance to Universal Orlando, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
Minimally Invasive Surgery Week 2026 – Where Laparoscopy and Robotics Meet – is a multidisciplinary conference covering a range of specialties including surgery, gynecology, endourology, pediatric surgery, and robotic surgery among others. The meeting is open to surgeons, allied health professionals, students, residents, fellows, and others interested in laparoscopic, endoscopic, robotic, and minimally invasive surgical techniques and technologies.

MISWeek 2026 employs a variety of educational formats including hands-on and didactic master courses, topical general sessions, the presentation of scientific papers, open forums, posters, and original videos. The increasing complexity of minimally invasive diagnostics and therapy requires a continuous educational process. The exchange of knowledge and expertise among the physicians taking part in this conference contributes to the continuation of excellence in minimally invasive surgery.

Objectives: The increasing complexity of minimally invasive diagnostics and therapy requires a continuous educational process. The exchange of knowledge and expertise among the physicians taking part in this conference contributes to the continuation of excellence in minimally invasive surgery.

Upon completion of the conference, participants will be able to:

• Increase comprehension of the basic and fundamental principles of laparoscopic, endoscopic, and minimally invasive techniques, enhancing the participant’s understanding;
• Understand the recent advances in laparoscopic, robotic, and minimally invasive techniques;
• Determine the appropriate use of laparoscopic, robotic, and minimally invasive equipment as part of a treatment plan in the care of patients;
• Comprehend the developing technologies that will be available in the future to enhance the standard of patient care;
• Apply educational information within the physician’s specialty to enhance professional development and patient care.
