Dear colleagues,

On October 12–14, 2026, Moscow will host a main event for the professional community — the XVII Congress of Russian Surgeons, which will be held jointly with the XI Congress of Moscow Surgeons.

The Congress is one of the key events in the surgical community of our country and is organized with the support of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Moscow Department of Health.

The Congress program covers the full spectrum of modern surgery, from fundamental research to high-tech applied solutions. Surgery is a field of boundless possibilities, precision, and cutting-edge technologies. Surgeons in Russia have always stood at the forefront of innovative achievements and the actual saving of human lives; therefore, the 17th Congress is held under the slogan “Surgery Is Space.” The forum will bring together leading Russian and international experts from North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

An important part of the Congress program will be devoted to emergency surgery in peacetime and wartime, prepared by leading military and civilian surgeons of our country.

The event will traditionally serve as an important platform for professional dialogue and exchange of experience. The Organizing Committee is chaired by the country's leading surgeons, heads of major medical and scientific centers, and academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
