Dear Colleagues,
It is our sincere pleasure to invite you to the 23rd National Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Congress and the 14th National Phlebology Congress, to be held in Antalya on 28–31 October 2027.
This year our motto is “Moving Further Together in Vascular Surgery”. We believe that what drives our profession forward comes from sharing our knowledge, bringing our experiences together and searching for answers to new questions as one community.
Which innovations will transform our practice in the rapidly changing world of vascular surgery? How will current evidence guide our clinical decisions? How will today’s experience shape the vascular surgery of tomorrow? At our congress we wish to discuss these questions together, think from different perspectives and look for ways to do better for our patients.
We aim to create a scientific environment that brings the experience of our esteemed mentors together with the curiosity and energy of our young colleagues — where questions are asked freely, experiences are shared openly and new ideas find a response. While combining our accumulated experience with current scientific evidence and innovative approaches, we want to shape together a program that will contribute to the professional life of each of us.
That is why our invitation starts today. We invite you to share with us the questions you seek answers to in your daily practice, the topics you would like to see in the program, the cases you wish to open for discussion and your suggestions for educational activities. Each of your contributions will enrich the scientific content of our congress and help us respond more strongly to our common needs.
Alongside our scientific exchange, we also envision a meeting where we find time to listen to and talk with one another, renew our friendships and strengthen our professional solidarity. We care that everyone — from our experienced mentors to our young colleagues taking their first steps in the profession — feels like a valued part of this shared effort.
Let us shape our congress together from the very first stage of preparation, and bring our curiosity, knowledge and experience together on common ground.
Looking forward to meeting again in Antalya and moving further together in vascular surgery…
With warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Nevzat Erdil
President, Turkish National Society for Vascular and Endovascular Surgery
