The Robotic Surgery Collaboration (RSC) represents one of the largest international professional communities dedicated to robotic surgery, bringing together more than 18,000 surgeons worldwide. The organisation promotes education, international collaboration and the development of standards in robotic surgery across multiple surgical specialties.
The RSC Summit in Riyadh gathers surgeons involved in the evolution of robotic surgery through scientific sessions, expert discussions and presentations focused on surgical innovation and clinical practice.
The meeting provides an important international platform for discussing advances in robotic hernia surgery and abdominal wall reconstruction, as well as developments in minimally invasive surgery across general and visceral surgical disciplines.
Dr Ihsan Inan’s clinical practice at Geneva Surgery in Geneva focuses on robotic hernia surgery and abdominal wall reconstruction, contributing to the development of minimally invasive surgical strategies.

Long-standing Faculty Participation
Dr Inan has participated in the academic activities of the Robotic Surgery Collaboration since the first edition of the meeting held in Istanbul.
Through these international events he has contributed as faculty and participated in discussions addressing the evolution of robotic techniques in abdominal wall surgery and minimally invasive visceral surgery.
The RSC platform connects surgeons from different regions of the world and facilitates the exchange of experience across multiple fields including general surgery, colorectal surgery, hepatopancreatobiliary surgery and robotic abdominal wall reconstruction.
Lecture: Robotic Management of Diastasis Recti
During the summit, Dr Inan delivered a lecture entitled:
“Robotic Diastasis Recti.”
The presentation was delivered during the Abdominal Wall Reconstruction session, focusing on the functional aspects of rectus diastasis and the role of robotic surgery in its treatment.
The lecture emphasised that diastasis recti should be understood as a functional disorder of the abdominal wall, rather than a purely cosmetic condition.
Robotic surgical approaches allow precise reconstruction of the linea alba, restoring midline tension and abdominal wall biomechanics while maintaining the advantages of minimally invasive surgery.
These techniques represent an important component of modern robotic abdominal wall reconstruction and are increasingly integrated into the broader field of robotic hernia surgery.
A Global Platform for Robotic Surgery
The RSC Summit brings together international leaders in robotic surgery and provides a forum for discussion on several key areas, including:
technological developments in robotic platforms
advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques
training and education of robotic surgeons
the future role of robotics across surgical specialties
Through international collaboration and exchange of expertise, the Robotic Surgery Collaboration contributes to the continuous evolution of robotic surgery and to the dissemination of best practices in minimally invasive surgery.
Clinical experience presented during the summit reflects the ongoing development of robotic hernia surgery at Geneva Surgery in Geneva, where advanced minimally invasive techniques are applied to abdominal wall reconstruction and hernia repair.
