Welcome to the 4th Midlands Colorectal Symposium 2026
The 4th Midlands Robotic Colorectal Symposium brings together leading surgeons and innovators to explore the fast-evolving landscape of robotic colorectal surgery, from multi-platform technology and AI-driven decision support to live operating masterclasses. Across two days delegates will tackle the field's hardest questions — difficult dissection planes, anastomotic safety, complex pelvic and hernia surgery, and where telesurgery and platform choice are heading next. Join us on 8th–9th October 2026 at Northampton General Hospital for a programme built around live surgery, expert debate, and the future of practice.
