Dear Colleagues and friends,
As Congress Chairman and on behalf of The Turkish Association of Pediatric Surgeons (TAPS), it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 8th World Congress of Pediatric Surgery which will be held at Titanic Mardan Palace Hotel in Antalya, Türkiye between 12-15th November 2025.
It is an honor and a privilege to have guests, mutual friends and distinguished faculty from all over the world joining us. We all work, share information and knowledge to ensure that every infant and child who suffers from a surgical disease receives the best care by a pediatric surgeon. This event will bring together key speakers from top-tier centers for this purpose. Undoubtedly, pre-congress courses moderated by distinguished trainers and faculty will be as attractive as always been, followed by the Congress sessions with inspiring keynote lectures, panel discussions and presentations.
In this Congress, we will be sharing the luxury, convenience, and contentment of the exceptional venue with all-inclusive system, and benefit from being under the same roof at post-meeting hours to establish communication among colleagues as well as catching-up with each other. In the meantime, enjoying the amenities of the facility with friends and family members who wish to join us will be possible for those who chose to accommodate at the resort during the Congress dates.
I would like to give special thanks to all the speakers and moderators, who have generously donated their time, resource and expertise to enrich the program. Of course, a Congress of this immensity and importance would not be possible without your participation and the support and generosity of our hard-working organization team.
I personally hope this meeting provides a unique opportunity for both, updating our medical knowledge as well as setting a ground for future collaborations.
Prof. Dr. Orkan Ergun
Congress Chairman
