ESGE 2026 – Kraków: An extraordinary success!
Over 2,400 participants from around the world gathered in Kraków for an inspiring edition of the ESGE Annual Congress, celebrating innovation, scientific excellence, and the future of gynecological endoscopy.
Among the highlights of the congress, Dr. Ursula Catena contributed to the Live Surgery program, performing the hysteroscopic treatment of a complex congenital uterine anomaly: a complete septate uterus with duplicated cervices and a longitudinal vaginal septum (U2bC2V1).
A remarkable opportunity to share surgical expertise, advanced techniques, and knowledge with the international gynecological endoscopy community.
🇵🇹 And now, all eyes on Porto 2027!
Dr. Ursula Catena will serve as Scientific Chair of the ESGE 2027 Annual Congress in Porto, taking on an exciting new challenge and contributing to shaping the scientific program of the next edition.
Thank you, Kraków! See you in Porto 2027! 🚀

I am deeply honored to have received the Golden Hysteroscope Award, one of the most prestigious international recognitions in the field of hysteroscopy.
The award was presented during the AAGL Global Congress in Vancouver for a video showcasing the ultrasound-guided hysteroscopic treatment of a Robert’s uterus—an intervention that reflects how intrauterine surgery is evolving toward increasingly higher standards of precision, safety, and preservation of reproductive function.
This achievement represents not only technical progress, but also a step forward in our daily mission: offering minimally invasive treatments that truly improve women’s quality of life and clinical outcomes. It is the result of study, continuous research, and a deep passion for a discipline that is constantly advancing.
My heartfelt thanks go to the colleagues, mentors, and collaborators who have shared this journey. No recognition is ever the product of a single individual: it is the outcome of a shared vision, of complementary expertise, and of teamwork that makes possible what none of us could accomplish alone.
I accept this award with gratitude and with a renewed commitment to advancing hysteroscopic surgery, so that women may receive care that is increasingly effective, safe, and respectful of their health.
