London International
Robotic Surgery Symposium

Advancing Excellence in Robotic Surgery

Venue : Homerton University Hospital, London E9 6SR
25th November 2026

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural London International Robotic Surgery Symposium (LIRSS). LIRSS has been conceived as a focused international forum dedicated to advancing excellence in robotic surgery through the exchange of ideas, experience, and innovation.

Robotic surgery is transforming surgical practice across multiple specialties. LIRSS brings together a distinguished international and national faculty alongside surgeons at different stages of their robotic journey—from those establishing new programmes to those performing complex and advanced procedures.

The programme features an engaging series of lectures, debates, and panel discussions covering key areas of robotic surgery, including robotic hernia, upper gastrointestinal, bariatric, and hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery. We hope the meeting will provide a stimulating platform for exchanging ideas, challenging current thinking, and shaping the future of robotic surgical practice.

The Royal College of Surgeons of England has awarded up to 7.5 CPD points.

We look forward to welcoming you to London and to an inspiring and rewarding meeting.

We are pleased to announce the 7th London International Bariatric Surgery Symposium (LIBSS), on 26-27th November 2026, for surgeons involved in Bariatric surgery at all stages of their journey. The symposium will bring together international and national faculty to an amazing program that is filled with talks, debates and panel discussion on controversies, management of complications and innovations in the field of obesity, bariatric and metabolic surgery. There will also be talks for bariatric dieticians, psychologists and nurse specialists (Allied / Integrated Health Professionals) on both the days.
