14th Annual Hernia Surgery Summit

The 14th Annual Hernia Surgery Summit is organized by CineMed, Inc. and will be held from Feb 15 - 17, 2024 at Big Sky Resort, Big Sky, Montana, United States of America.

About The Event:
The reconstruction of abdominal wall defects remains one of the most challenging dilemmas facing surgeons. Congenital, acquired or post-traumatic defects all present unique challenges to the reconstructive surgeon. A multitude of surgical techniques and mesh materials are available to improve outcomes in ventral hernia repair. Robotics has become a major component for both routine and complex inguinal and ventral hernia repairs. Even though ventral hernia repair remains one of the most common procedures performed, there is little consensus as to the best surgical technique, prosthetic material of choice, or strategies to repair complex defects.

Learning Objectives:
During the Summit, you will be exposed to all aspects of Hernia Surgery including:

• Minimally Invasive Hernia Repairs
• Robotic Hernia Repairs
• Complex open abdominal wall reconstruction techniques
  • Open (traditional) component separation
  • Laparoscopic and periumbilical sparing component separation
  • Posterior component separation and transversus abdominis release (TAR)
  • Laparoscopic and Robotic Extraperitoneal Retromuscular Repairs
• Para-stomal and other difficult hernia repairs
• Reconstructions in setting infection, contamination, enterocutaneous fistulas, loss of abdominal domain
• Umbilical and inguinal hernia repairs
• Comprehensive review of groin repairs and groin pain management
• Plastic surgery considerations for difficult soft tissue scenarios
