Bariatic and Robotic SurgeonDear Esteemed Colleagues, Guests and Participants,
It is with great honor and excitement that I welcome you to the 1st Farwaniya Hospital Robotic Bariatric Surgery Conference, scheduled to take place on Saturday, 27th September 2025 at the Salwa Sabah Hall. This pioneering event will be followed by a three-day Robotic Bariatric Live Surgery Relay from 28th to 30th September 2025 at the Farwaniya Hospital Auditorium.
Kuwait association of surgeons will continue the educational role given to us by our colleagues.
As bariatric surgery continues to evolve, robotic-assisted techniques have emerged as a game-changing advancement-enhancing precision, improving outcomes, and expanding surgical capabilities. This conference marks a milestone for our institution and for the bariatric surgical community in Kuwait and the region. It brings together leading experts, innovators, and practitioners to share knowledge, exchange best practices, and showcase the latest in robotic surgical technologies.
The scientific program will feature keynote lectures, panel discussions, and case-based learning led by internationally and regionally renowned surgeons. The highlight of our event-the live surgery relay-will provide a rare and invaluable opportunity to witness robotic bariatric procedures performed by distinguished experts, streamed directly from our state-of-the-art operating theaters at Farwaniya Hospital. This conference reflects our ongoing commitment to medical excellence, surgical innovation, and continuous professional development. Whether you are a seasoned bariatric surgeon, a surgical trainee, or a healthcare professional with interest in robotic technology, we are confident that you will find the event both educational and inspiring.
