10^TH Swiss Hernia Days

With great pleasure we are looking forward to the upcoming 10^TH SWISS HERNIA DAYS, which will take place at the Novartis Campus Building by Frank Gehry in Basel, Switzerland.

Looking back to nine years of successful SWISS HERNIA DAYS we are constantly trying to improve the congress experience for our participants and industry partners. Therefore, we choose to change the congress venue and started a collaboration with a new congress secretary. The upcoming SWISS HERNIA DAYS will take place in the heart of Switzerland’s «life science center», the famous Novartis campus in Basel. Surrounded by exceptional architecture and the spirit of science and research, we hope to create an even more inspiring congress atmosphere, just as we did in 2025.

Again, we managed to invite many renown national and international hernia experts to Switzerland, and it will be a pleasure to hear their opinions, their up-to-date lectures, and discussions. Beside talks, keynote lecture and industry symposia we provide again the famous «champions league» session, a deferred live surgery session and of course the SWISS HERNIA DAYS networking event.

Since 2017 SWISS HERNIA DAYS are not only an established interactive and innovative hernia congress. The congress has evolved to a platform for active learning and practical exercises. Therefore, we will again provide an anatomical cadaver workshop at the anatomical institute of the university of Basel at the 20^TH of October 2026. In addition, we will roll out a more sophisticated hands-on robotic hernia workshop during the congress days after a successful pilot in 2023.
