Program description

Join us to attend the first large-scale hernia symposium hosted by BD in the US since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic! This event will bring academia and community together to review the most up-to-date techniques which help to effectively restore the anatomy using expertly applied algorithms.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from international thought leaders in the field, and more about the concept of abdominal wall stewardship and the future of resorbable mesh in hernia repair. Additionally, the symposium will place a strong focus on long-term data, shared care and improved patient outcomes. Virtual participants will have the opportunity to interact with our faculty speakers through the HerniaU platform, so be sure to join us for this exciting educational event as we TRANSFORM the field of hernia repair.
