Dear Hernia Friends,

Welcome to Paris - EHS 2025!
The city where tradition meets innovation, and where our story began more than 40 years ago! In the very heart of our capital, the symbol of our history and culture, we wish to offer the perfect backdrop for a meeting dedicated to pushing the frontiers of hernia surgery.

Our scientific team prepared an outstanding program and had brough together a prestigious faculty of world-renowned experts, whose knowledge and vision will undoubtedly shape the future of our field. From refinement of minimally invasive approaches to the management of complex reconstructions, anatomy, chronic pain, diversity of techniques in the world, every session is crafted to inspire, inform, and connect. We hope this meeting will be more than a congress but a celebration of shared expertise, knowledge, innovation, vision of the future, and the art of teaching hernia repair. Join us as we explore the evolving landscape of abdominal wall surgery—where knowledge meets precision, and where each repair is a step toward restoring strength, form, and function.

The last meeting in France was 30 years ago and « a museum » tracing the history of the French hernia community and the GREPA, with original documents and videos of Rives and Stoppa, will be shown in the Palais des Congrès. The disciples of Rives and Stoppa will be your hosts.
But #EHS2025Paris is also about gathering with friends! Surrounded by our hernia colleagues from around the world, this congress is also a celebration of the strong ties that unite our global hernia surgical community.
Please come and share with surgeons, patients, partners during the Welcome Ceremony.

The Gala Party is scheduled in an surprising place: Musée des Arts Forains!
It will be an amazing adventure. Don’t miss it, you have probably never seen such experience!

This year, we return to where it all started – Back to the Origins!
Please join us, share expertise with friends, enjoy knowledge and innovations about Hernia Surgery. We look forward to welcoming you to an unforgettable experience in Paris.
