welcome to the RAWS ROCS congress 2026
ABOUT
RAWS-ROCS
Welcome to the Robotics in Abdominal Wall Surgery & Robotics in Colorectal Surgery in the Nordics 2026 congress (RAWS-ROCS).
Join us for a 1-day “deep-dive” focusing on the robotic techniques in abdominal wall surgery and colorectal surgery, two specialties that often overlap, cooperate, inspire and impact each other.
We are bringing a stellar faculty from the Nordics, but also experts from further afar to deliver a high-impact curriculum.
The day will feature joint opening and closing session, focusing on stoma creation and perineal hernia respectively. The remainder of the day will be delivered as 2 separate tracks: abdominal wall surgery track and colorectal track.
We look forward to welcoming you to Stockholm on September 4th, 2026!
Target audience
We expect 120 – 150 surgeons to join the RAWS-ROCS congress. The curriculum is suitable for surgeons at all stages of their robotic training pathway as well as for surgeons that are about to start on the pathway.
