Patient Quality of Life in AWR and the Impact of Innovative Biomaterials
Learning objectives for the session:
- AWR / Hernia is a chronic condition with long term impacts on patient quality of life
- AWR outcomes are multi-dimensional, which supports the idea that QoL is a vital metric
- Understand AWR QoL instruments: PROs - how they help surgeons learn, improve, add insights to care & their practice
- How (Gore) quality biomaterials help support/contribute to quality of life / quality outcomes for hernia repair / AWR patients: share clinical experience and data on GORE SYNECOR® and GORE ENFORM® Biomaterials
