This module considers the anatomical features and surgical approaches to a variety of common abdominal hernias. Beginning with a general discussion surrounding mesh placement and the impact of hernia repair to the NHS, the module progresses through sessions on ventral, groin and incisional hernias. Participants will gain insight into the key distinctions and considerations present in both open and laparoscopic hernia repair, and awareness of how patients presenting with hernias are assessed.

You will cover topics including:

• Introduction to hernia
• Ventral hernia
• Groin hernia (including anatomy of the groin, inguinal and femoral hernias with approaches to repairing)
• Incisional hernia
