Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Distinguished Speakers, and Honored Guests,
It is with great pleasure and deep appreciation that I welcome you to the Ramathibodi International Robotics and Urology Symposium 2026 (RIRS26), held at the elegant Chatrium Hotel Riverside, Bangkok.
This year’s theme, “The Pioneer Mindset,” reflects not just a title—but a transformation. At RIRS25, we celebrated innovative dreams. In 2026, we take the next bold step: turning those dreams into reality. This shift from aspiration to actualization is the spirit of the pioneer—one who dares, builds, and leads.
Our program this year brings together over 50 renowned experts from across Asia and around the globe. Over the next two days, we will engage in cutting-edge presentations, live surgical demonstrations, and thought-provoking discussions that span the evolving fields of robotic surgery, endourology, and interventional radiology. These sessions are crafted not only to advance our surgical capabilities but also to reimagine what’s possible when innovation meets collaboration.
Together, we are not only learning—we are shaping the future.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I extend my warmest welcome. We are honored by your presence, and we look forward to your invaluable contributions throughout this groundbreaking event.
Welcome to RIRS26. Let’s pioneer the future—together.
Assoc. Prof. Chinnakhet Ketsuwan
Chair, Organizing Committee
