Our commitment to excellence continues with the Gore MEDICAL MASTERY Series. This surgical symposium provides general surgeons and plastic surgeons the opportunity to learn or further refine their knowledge of hernia and soft tissue repair techniques. This education event will provide guidance using didactic instruction, video presentation and panel debates.

Target audience

Surgeons who are interested in advanced surgical techniques, abdominal wall reconstruction and management of complex hernias.

Learning outcomes

By attending this course, participants will:

  • Expand their knowledge and refine techniques associated with complex hernia repair.
  • Become knowledgeable about biomaterial choices, and the similarities and differences between biosynthetics and biologics.
  • Understand patient risk factors that may influence choice of repair or biomaterial.
  • Develop a better understanding of robotic surgery, and its utilization within advanced hernia repair.
