Abdominal wall reconstruction and complex hernia repairs have advanced rapidly in recent years; it can be hard to keep up. A variety of surgical options exist and understanding which operation offers the most functional and aesthetic outcome whilst aiming to reduce serious post-operative complications and potential re-operation is imperative.
Programme coming soon
Objectives of the course
Our one day course will review the anatomy of the abdominal wall, preoperative considerations and patient optimisation, reconstructive modalities for abdominal wall defects, with special attention to component separation techniques. Alternatives to component separation, device selection and placement, and salvage options will also be evaluated.
This will be followed by a cadaveric dissection lab, giving delegates an opportunity to review these techniques with our expert Faculty.
The intention is to provide an atmosphere to foster collaboration, sharing of ideas and experiences related to AWR.
The course will provide an interactive educational experience and is best suited to surgeons involved in abdominal wall reconstruction, although senior trainees with a specialist interest will be considered.
