Another great year at SAGES2026. This year’s theme, “Connect to Purpose,” truly reflected the momentum we’re seeing in the expansion of innovation and the integration of robotic surgery, AI, telepresence and digital surgery.
The meeting kicked off with a full day of committee sessions spanning robotics, telepresence, and multiple surgical specialties—highlighting how, as a field, we are collectively shaping what AI and telemedicine will mean for the future of surgery.
I was especially honored to co-chair the Robotic Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction course and to contribute to several hernia sessions. It was also great to reconnect with the WIDVS group and continue important discussions around the evolving Intuitive da Vinci 5 technology.

Meetings like this are what move our field forward—driven by collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose. And, of course, the best part is always the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and build new relationships along the way.

It was such a great day chairing the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Adopt Robotic TAR course at Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS) . Thanks to my co-chair, Matthew Goldblatt and the amazing faculty who dedicated their time and expertise to put on a very educational and invaluable course for the surgeons who attended. Thank you to the Industry partners for their support and Erin Schwarz for organizing.

One of the best hernia meetings of the year—the 16th Annual Hernia Surgery Summit. Thanks to for the invitation to join the faculty again this year.
I had the honor of speaking about the importance of surgical ergonomics and discussing approaches to managing hernias in the emergency setting. So many great topics around hernia surgery as we continue to evolve the field to provide better care for our patients.
It is always so great reconnecting with friends and colleagues from around the world—one of the best parts of meetings like this.
Perhaps the most inspiring part was seeing the next generation of surgeons stepping into the world of da Vinci surgery—the future of innovation and patient care starting early.

The International Women in Surgery Symposium was truly an inspiring and energizing meeting. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of advancing women in surgery at every stage of our careers—supporting and elevating one another, mentoring, and uplifting the next generation. The networking, sense of community, and spirit of collaboration were unmatched.

A huge thank you to for her exceptional leadership, resilience, and unwavering support of all of us. Hosting this meeting for the 16th year, and somehow making each year better than the last, is no small feat.

It is always so great to catch up with old friends and meet new ones, women from all over the world; and capped off by the honor of hearing a keynote from the Tampa Mayor, Jane Castor.
