Dear Colleagues,
It is my great honor and pleasure to invite you to the 14th National Congress of Gastrointestinal Surgery and the 3rd National Congress of Liver Transplantation, which will be held in Malatya, Türkiye, from September 9–12, 2026.
Throughout history, surgery has evolved not only through advances in techniques but also through transformations in the way we think. Today, one of the most significant driving forces behind this evolution is undoubtedly minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic, robotic, and advanced endoscopic interventions are no longer merely alternative approaches; they have become paradigm-shifting treatment strategies for many diseases. For this reason, we have selected "Minimally Invasive Surgery" as the main theme of our congress.
