Aimed at delegates with early experience in managing patients with parastomal hernia.
Attendees were exposed to open and laparoscopic approaches for the prevention and repair of Parastomal Hernia.
Course content
This one-day workshop comprised theoretical instructions and practical exercises for the
safe and effective application of open and laparoscopic approaches for the repair and prevention of parastomal hernia. World experts discussed surgical anatomy of abdominal wall, need and timing for repair of parastomal hernia, abdominal wall reconstruction, techniques for prophylactic mesh reinforcement and repair of parastomal hernia.
Learning objectives
Attendee gained the following:
- Learned about the indications, patient selection and outcomes for repair of parastomal hernia.
- Learned about the technical challenges associated with different types of repairs.
- Learned about pitfalls in consent and choices of meshes.
- Learned about basic principles of dissection for component separation.
- The ability to perform prevention and repair procedures on models.
