Therefore, intermediate level of skills in laparoscopic surgery will be desirable for this workshop.

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 will discuss surgical anatomy of the abdominal wall, the need and timing for repair of parastomal hernia, abdominal wall reconstruction, techniques for prophylactic mesh reinforcement and repair of parastomal hernia.

* In the event that the full course should sell out, additional spaces for lectures only during the morning may be made available at the Course Director’s discretion. In that event, the price will be €100 per attendee (member or non-member).

Learning objectives

Attendees should gain the following:

  • Learn about the indications, patient selection and outcomes for repair of parastomal hernia
  • Learn about the technical challenges associated with different types of repairs
  • Learn about pitfalls in consent and choices of meshes ‒ Learn about basic principles of dissection for component separation
  • The ability to perform prevention and repair procedures on models
