Hernia, Foregut and Colorectal Review
This day-long educational activity is designed to educate the community, general, and plastic surgeons about the latest techniques for complex abdominal wall reconstruction, complex foregut surgery and complex colorectal surgery. Complex abdominal wall hernias are difficult to treat. Many times patients have had multiple previous attempts at reconstruction and often present with chronic infections. The standard ventral hernia repair is often not enough to fix these patients. In addition, complex foregut and colorectal issues are often beyond the scope of the community General Surgeon.
