MID will be present at the Journées d’Échanges en Chirurgie Bariatrique (JECB) on November 5 and 6, 2026. A key event for healthcare professionals involved in obesity management and the evolution of surgical practices.
MID, a partner for innovation in bariatric surgery
At MID (Medical Innovation Développement), we believe that medical innovation is deeply rooted in listening to healthcare professionals, sharing knowledge, and collaborating with surgical teams. With this in mind, we are pleased to support the 2026 Journées d’Échanges en Chirurgie Bariatrique, which will bring together bariatric and metabolic surgery specialists on November 5 and 6 to discuss current and future challenges in obesity care. Our participation in this event reflects our commitment to healthcare professionals and our desire to contribute to the development of medical solutions that meet the demands of surgical practice.
The 2026 JECB: a major event in bariatric surgery
The Journées d’Échanges en Chirurgie Bariatrique is a major event for professionals involved in obesity surgery. The congress focuses on dialogue, interactivity, and topics directly related to daily practice. It allows surgeons and medical teams to share their experiences, compare approaches, and explore developments in their specialty.
The 2026 edition will highlight several major topics:
- Artificial intelligence and the digital transition in surgery.
- The complementarity between bariatric surgery and GLP-1 treatments.
- The management of complex complications.
- Advanced surgical techniques and innovations.
- The evolution of practices surrounding sleeve gastrectomy.
These themes perfectly illustrate the transformations taking place in bariatric surgery and the importance of close collaboration among healthcare stakeholders.
