At the VIII SKY Meeting, we believe that dexterity is also trained outside the operating room.

This year, we’ve got another exciting surprise for you!

Our Social Program is more than just a moment to unwind, it’s an immersive experience designed to challenge precision, creativity, and focus through art.

From ceramics to painting and manual crafts, you’ll explore activities that mirror the same fine motor skills, attention to detail and hand-eye coordination that define a surgeon's craft..

A space where your hands, usually trained for science, will discover the art of precision in a whole new way.

Because a good surgeon is also a good artist.

SKY Meeting VIII – Surgical Knowledge for Youth

We are thrilled to present our third Plenary Session, No Scar Surgery, an exploration of the cutting edge of modern surgical innovation — procedures performed through natural orifices and minimally invasive techniques that are redefining the boundaries of patient care and recovery.

This session features two remarkable speakers: Prof. Dr. Jaime Vilaça, founder of the Portuguese Society for Minimally Invasive Surgery and a pioneer in advanced laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques, and Dr. Catarina Estevinho, Gynaecology and Obstetrics Assistant at Centro Hospitalar Tâmega e Sousa, with international training in Minimally Invasive and vNOTES Surgery.

Together, Prof. Vilaça and Dr. Estevinho will unveil how surgical precision and technological evolution are converging to make “no scar” procedures a reality — transforming not only the surgeon’s practice but also the patient’s experience. From concept to clinical application, this plenary will highlight how the pursuit of less invasive approaches continues to shape the future of surgery.

Join us for No Scar Surgery and discover how innovation and expertise are changing the very way we heal.

SKY Meeting VIII - Surgical Knowledge for Youth

We are delighted to announce our second Plenary Session, Born with a Battle, a deep dive into the world of Pediatric Surgery, focusing on congenital abdominal wall defects — conditions that challenge infants from the very first moments of life.

This session brings together two distinguished speakers: Dr. Tiago Tuna, Pediatric Surgeon at ULS São João and Visiting Assistant Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto, and Dr. Inês Pessanha, Pediatric Surgeon at the Coimbra Pediatric Hospital and member of the Scientific Committee of the Journal of Liver Transplantation.

Combining clinical expertise with academic insight, Dr. Tuna and Dr. Pessanha will explore the complex surgical and developmental dimensions of these congenital conditions — from diagnosis to long-term care — shedding light on how collaboration and innovation continue to improve outcomes for the youngest patients.

Join us for this inspiring plenary as we uncover the stories, challenges, and triumphs behind those who are truly Born with a Battle.

SKY Meeting VIII - Surgical Knowledge for Youth

We are honoured to present the Named Lecture of the SKY Meeting VIII — a special session dedicated to celebrating the remarkable career of Prof. Dr. Rui Vaz, a leading figure in Portuguese neurosurgery.

Former Director of the Neurosurgery Department at Centro Hospitalar Universitário de São João and Clinical Director of CUF Porto Hospital, Prof. Dr. Rui Vaz has been a driving force in advancing neurosurgical practice in Portugal. A true pioneer, he introduced deep brain stimulation techniques to the country in 2002, revolutionising the treatment of movement disorders and inspiring a new generation of surgeons.

Beyond his surgical excellence, Prof. Dr. Rui Vaz has played a vital role in bridging clinical innovation and research, collaborating closely with FEUP and i3S, where he has been a member of the Scientific Council since 2014. His distinguished career has also been recognised with the Bial Award for Clinical Medicine (Honourable Mention, 2010), among numerous leadership positions in national and international neurosurgical societies.

Join us in this session as we honour a lifetime of dedication, innovation, and leadership — a tribute to one of the most influential names in Portuguese neurosurgery.

SKY Meeting VIII – Surgical Knowledge for Youth

This year, innovation takes centre stage.

At the 8th edition of SKY Meeting, we’re reimagining what a surgical congress can be — transforming it into an immersive experience where learning goes beyond observation.

For the first time, hands-on workshops will be available to all participants, offering practical, skill-building opportunities across multiple surgical fields. And for our Premium Participants, the experience reaches a new level — the exclusive chance to perform surgery side by side with doctors from Hospital São João, working on cadaveric material at the Anatomical Theatre.

But that’s not all. SKY Meeting VIII expands its horizons with the introduction of two new specialties: Gastroenterologyand Anaesthesiology, broadening the scope of knowledge and collaboration that defines our event.

This year, we don’t just talk about innovation — we make it happen, together shaping the future of surgical education.
