Abdominal Wall Stewardship: Long Term Clinical and Patient Reported Outcomes
Please join us as Dr. John Fischer presents the significance of looking after the abdominal wall as it relates to hernia prevention and treatment. This discussion will include the important roles biomaterials, patient selection, optimization and surgical technique have in the pursuit of achieving optimal patient outcomes for abdominal wall reconstruction. He will also share the clinical experiences and new long-term data that are critical to the decision making he utilizes in continually improving the treatment he provides his patients.

Hernia Evolution—Advanced Robotic Techniques with Bioresorbable Mesh for Successful Outcomes
Dr. Jorge de Amorim Filho will be discussing his transition from laparoscopic to open surgery to his adoption of robotics for ventral hernia repairs. His preferred procedure is now robotic eTEP; he will discuss key intraoperative objectives and steps as well as hernia protocol and mesh choice. His talk will end with the cost of complications and a summary of clinical evidence along with his facility’s own data and cost savings.

Is It Time for a Paradigm Shift?
Please join Dr. William Hope as he examines and challenges the conventional wisdom around standard mesh repair. Dr. Hope will offer long term data supporting this paradigm shift and explore the case for a bioabsorbable mesh in routine hernia repair. He will report on the latest data in both synthetic and bioresorbables and discuss his view on the treatment of hernia as a chronic disease. He will also relate how this data has informed his practice algorithm with a devotion to the science of hernia repair and improving his patients’ outcomes with a renewed emphasis on quality of life.

Abdominal Wall Reinforcement After Stoma Closure
Please join Dr. Wolfgang B. Gaertner as he presents how incisional hernia after stoma closure is increasingly common and associated with decreased QoL. He will also share from his perspective how stoma site closures are frequently underestimated and share data on abdominal wall reinforcement after stoma closure is safe and effective in selective cases.
