Over the past decade, the treatment of ventral and inguinal hernias has seen tremendous growth and advancement in preoperative optimization, surgical techniques, and available options for prosthetic reinforcement. However, appropriate application of all of these innovative concepts can be challenging for the hernia surgeon. In particular, when to perform a "routine" operation on a "routine" hernia, and avoid making things too complicated can be difficult.

PROGRAM 

  1. Welcome & Introduction - Dr. Michael Rosen (USA) and Dr. Steven D. Wexner (USA).

  2. Preoperative Optimization: what have we learned? – Dr. Clayton Petro (USA).

  3. Inguinal Hernia Repairs:

    • MIS repairs: robotic and lap – Dr. Rana Higgins (USA).

    • Evidence and perspective/future aspects of Patient-Reported-Outcome-measures (PROMs) in ventral hernia repair – Dr. Thue Bisgaard (Denmark).


  4. Ventral Hernia Repairs:
