At Nezhat Medical Center, we are committed to advancing awareness, education, and innovation in the care of women’s health conditions. That mission is closely reflected in the upcoming AGCES 2026 Annual Meeting, where Ceana Nezhat, MD, FACOG, FACS, will be featured as a keynote speaker.
The conference, hosted by the American & Global College of Endometriosis Specialists (AGCES), will take place from March 19 to 21, 2026, at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year’s theme, “Pioneering the Future: AI and Innovation in Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Care,” signals a forward-looking approach to diagnosis, treatment, and global collaboration.
A Leading Voice in Endometriosis and Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Ceana Nezhat has dedicated his career to improving outcomes for patients with complex gynecologic conditions, particularly endometriosis, adenomyosis, and infertility-related disorders. He is internationally recognized for pioneering minimally invasive surgical techniques that allow patients to recover more quickly while reducing complications.
As Medical Director of the Nezhat Medical Center in Atlanta, and in his roles with Northside Hospital, Emory University School of Medicine, and several national professional societies, Dr. Nezhat has consistently championed better training for physicians, earlier recognition of symptoms, and multidisciplinary care.
At AGCES 2026, his contributions will reflect not only surgical innovation but also his deep commitment to making effective treatment accessible for women worldwide.
The AGCES Mission
AGCES was co-founded by members of the Nezhat family alongside other world leaders in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Its mission is to transform endometriosis and adenomyosis care through:
- Education: training the next generation of specialists in cutting-edge techniques.
- Research and Innovation: supporting the integration of robotics, artificial intelligence, and omics-based diagnostics.
- Advocacy: promoting global standards of care and awareness.
- Collaboration: bringing together physicians, researchers, and patient advocates from across disciplines.
The annual AGCES meeting has quickly become a cornerstone event for clinicians who want to expand their knowledge and engage with emerging technologies.
Dr. Ceana Nezhat’s Role at AGCES 2026
On the opening day of the conference, March 19, Dr. Ceana Nezhat will deliver a keynote session titled:
This talk will highlight the complex ways endometriosis presents itself across patients and how artificial intelligence could help redefine diagnosis and treatment planning. By analyzing large data sets, AI has the potential to reveal patterns that traditional methods may miss, helping to personalize care and reduce delays in treatment.
Later that day, Dr. Ceana Nezhat will also provide the closing remarks for Day 1, summarizing insights from multiple sessions and setting the stage for ongoing discussions throughout the conference.
Why This Matters for Patients
For many women, the journey to an accurate diagnosis of endometriosis is long and often frustrating. Studies suggest that it can take 7 to 10 years on average for patients to receive a proper diagnosis. This delay contributes to unnecessary suffering, missed opportunities for fertility preservation, and reduced quality of life.
Dr. Ceana Nezhat’s work has long emphasized that endometriosis is not a “one-size-fits-all” condition. Some patients experience minimal symptoms despite extensive disease, while others suffer severely from smaller lesions. By applying artificial intelligence to this field, clinicians may be able to better predict which treatments will be most effective for each individual.
For patients, this could mean:
- Earlier detection and fewer years of misdiagnosis.
- More personalized treatment plans that target the specific manifestation of disease.
- Improved surgical outcomes through better pre-operative planning.
- Enhanced fertility preservation options for those wishing to conceive.
What to Expect from AGCES 2026
The three-day event will feature:
- Over 60 sessions covering surgery, research, and multidisciplinary approaches.
- Live surgical demonstrations and expert video sessions.
- Discussions on robotics, omics-based diagnostics, and obstetrical outcomes in endometriosis and adenomyosis.
- A strong emphasis on advocacy, education, and practical skills that participants can bring back to their own practices.
With its mix of hands-on learning, expert panels, and technological showcases, the meeting is designed not only for surgeons but for all healthcare professionals involved in women’s health.
Looking Ahead: Professional & Motivational
Dr. Ceana Nezhat’s presence at AGCES 2026 highlights a simple truth: the future of endometriosis care depends on both innovation and collaboration. By combining decades of surgical experience with the possibilities of emerging technologies like AI, leaders in the field are paving the way toward faster diagnoses, safer surgeries, and more hopeful outcomes for patients.
