Dear colleagues and hernia friends,
In 2020 the European Hernia Society (EHS) planned its 42th face to face meeting in Barcelona, sadly, the pandemic forced us to cancel it. 3 years have gone, they have brought uncertainty and changes in many aspects of our lives. However, it is time to regroup and face new opportunities. The EHS offers us the opportunity to organize its annual congress face to face again. All our thanks to our beloved society. The place we have chosen is still Barcelona, of course, but this time in Sitges, a small town by the sea and very very close to the city. We believe that the sea can represent the transformation from storm to calm...
