Borj Dhiafa Hotel, Sfax · November 6-7, 2026
On behalf of the Tunisian Thoracic Surgery Association (TTSA), I am honored and delighted to welcome you to the 5th edition of our National Congress, taking place on November 6–7, 2026, in the historic city of Sfax at the prestigious Borj Dhiafa Hotel.
This edition is proudly organized in close collaboration with the French Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (SFCTCV), the Tunisian Society of Neurology (STN), and the Association of Pulmonologists and Allergists of Central and Southern Tunisia (APACS).
This year, we have designed a rich and comprehensive scientific program featuring 5 specialized medical and paramedical workshops alongside more than 75 scientific communications (oral sessions and commented posters). Our discussions and conference sessions will focus on 4 main themes:
The success of this congress relies on strong partnerships. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the partnering national and international learned societies for their invaluable scientific contribution, which continually enriches our exchanges. I also extend my warmest thanks to our sponsors and industry partners for their unwavering support and commitment to continuing medical and paramedical education.
I wish you all a fruitful congress, inspiring scientific discussions, and a wonderful stay in Sfax.
The scientific committee has curated a comprehensive program featuring dedicated thematic sessions, keynote lectures, and international joint sessions:
Dive into cutting-edge technical advances with a designated robotic surgery session and a hands-on introductory workshop.
An interdisciplinary approach in partnership with the Tunisian Association of Neurology, covering new guidelines for myasthenia gravis management, the role of lymph node dissection, and minimally invasive approaches.
A complete overview spanning diagnostic, therapeutic, and palliative techniques led by prominent international experts.
In-depth discussions on preventing prolonged post-operative air leaks, pre-operative rehabilitation strategies, and chronic post-operative pain management.

Hands-on simulator training and system introduction for surgeons.
Workplace health, physical strain reduction, and occupational ergonomics in high-stress clinical environments.
Targeted sessions on thoracic surgery anesthesia, managing peri-operative anticoagulation, and best practices for permanent vascular/thoracic access.
