The Congress

A Global Platform for Young Neurosurgeons

The 4th World Congress of Young Neurosurgeons (4WCYNS) is a prestigious international scientific congress dedicated to advancing the knowledge, skills, and global network of the next generation of neurosurgeons.

Organised by the Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery Training Academy Limited (MINTA) and co-organised by the Hong Kong Neurosurgical Society Limited (HKNS), the Asian Congress of Neurological Surgeons Young Neurosurgeons Section (ACNS YNS), and the World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) Foundation, this congress represents the highest level of scientific collaboration among young neurosurgeons worldwide.

Under the theme "Innovation in Neurosurgery", the 4th edition will spotlight transformative technologies โ€” from artificial intelligence and robotic-assisted surgery to novel minimally invasive approaches โ€” that are reshaping the neurosurgical landscape.
