BeSOMS @ BSW
The 28th Belgian Surgical Week will be held in Antwerp this year , from Thursday the 23th April until Saturday 25th April 2026. As a yearly tradition, BeSOMS will be holding a a VIDEO-session of 90 minutes, this year in collaboration with BAST (Belgian Association for Surgical Trainees). The session will take place on Friday afternoon between 16.30 and 18.00. Afterwards, an update on the reform of surgical training will be given by the RBSS and the commission for surgical training, so we expect a large crowd attending. In the video session trainees, with the support of their trainers, are given the opportunity to present interesting bariatric cases. This year we will be focusing on innovative techniques such as new robotic platforms, revisional or challenging robotic cases, new surgical techniques of concepts, endoscopic procedures or new technologies. Kind regards, Dr. Donald Van Der Fraenen President BeSOMS
