Welcome to BESTech 2026: International Symposium and Workshop
The Department of Endocrine Surgery, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS), Lucknow, is proud to welcome you to the International Symposium and Workshop on Breast and Endocrine Surgical Technology (BESTech 2026).
BESTech 2026 brings together this momentum—uniting surgeons, innovators, researchers, and clinicians who are driving the next leap in patient-centred surgical excellence. This symposium celebrates the convergence of innovation and clinical practice, focusing on the tools and techniques that are redefining how we approach breast and endocrine diseases.
OPENING STATEMENT
Shaping Tomorrow’s Standards of Care
The landscape of breast and endocrine surgery is undergoing a remarkable transformation. As technology accelerates, so does our ability to diagnose earlier, operate safer, and treat smarter.
BESTech 2026 celebrates this convergence of innovation and clinical practice, uniting surgeons, researchers, and clinicians to drive the next leap in surgical excellence. We will focus on the tools redefining our field—from the precision of robotic and endoscopic surgery to the finesse of ablative therapies for thyroid and breast nodules.
Participants will explore how AI-driven analytics, real-time ICG fluorescence, and targeted genetic therapies are reshaping treatment algorithms and personalising care like never before.
Beyond showcasing technologies, this meeting is grounded in collaboration and clinical impact. Whether you are an experienced surgeon or an emerging trainee, join us to step into a future where surgery is smarter, safer, and more personalised.
BESTech 2026 brings together surgeons, innovators, and researchers to explore
- Precision Surgery: From robotic and endoscopic surgery to ablative therapies for thyroid and breast nodules
- Advanced Imaging: ICG fluorescence, sentinel lymph node mapping, and real-time parathyroid identification.
