Welcome Letter

Dear colleagues,

It is with great pleasure to say "Welcome" to the tenth conference on abdominal wall surgery, which I am organizing together with my colleague and friend, Mircea Lică! It is a true honor to have you with us during this anniversary moment, marking a tradition that is growing year by year. We are pleased that, together with you, we have been able to associate the month of October with this important event in the abdominal wall surgery - Romanian Hernia Days!

Over the years, RHD has had the privilege of hosting renowned names from the World of surgery—true leaders who have significantly contributed to the advancement of this discipline. I wish to thank all those who have contributed to the creation and development of this congress; their support and dedication have been essential to our success. Many of them are present at this edition as well, demonstrating their commitment to professional excellence.

I warmly invite all those passionate about reconstructive surgery of the abdominal wall to actively participate and make the most of this opportunity. Your participation is vital for the success of the congress and for the continuous improvement of surgical practices.

Being a jubilee edition, we have decided to extend the scientific program by an additional day, dedicated to live surgical demonstrations. This will provide the opportunity to observe innovative techniques and learn directly from masters of our profession in an interactive and collaborative setting.

We hope the program will meet your expectations and provide moments of inspiration and learning. 

We eagerly look forward to spending Romanian Hernia Days together!

Welcome to RHD2026! 

Prof. Dr. Victor RADU
