Sydney Upper GI Surgical Society 2026 Meeting

SAVE THE DATE!

We are delighted to welcome you to our new venue at Coogee Beach, where we hope the seaside atmosphere fosters the “spirited yet collegial” debate that defines our society.

This year’s theme, “The Evolution of Upper GI Practice”, challenges us to look beyond our old practices and not focus just on the technical. While we will dive deep into ventral hernia repairs and the latest biliary technologies making us revisit old paradigms, we are also dedicating significant time to the ‘Big Picture”.

We will examine the rising costs of surgery from the perspective of surgeons, patients, hospital executives and insurers. Crucially, we will also turn the lens on ourselves. Our final session explores the psychological weight of being an Upper GI surgeon - navigating the feelings of inadequacy or guilt that can accompany our work, as well as the unique pressures of success.

Alongside our new seaside location, the Conference Dinner will be at Barzura. As always, the program includes extensive networking opportunities to reconnect with colleagues and engage with our industry partners.
