Technology is shaping the future of surgery. Robotics, patient-specific 3D simulations, augmented intraoperative imaging, and advanced laparoscopic and endoscopic platforms now define modern personalized surgery.<\/p>\n
This 3-day course provides comprehensive training in inguinal, ventral, and complex abdominal wall hernia management, combining live surgery, expert-led lectures, and hands-on laparoscopic sessions on live tissue. Participants can engage in real-time discussions with faculty while refining their operative skills.<\/p>\n
By merging cutting-edge technology with evidence-based practice, the course equips surgeons to enhance surgical technique and improve patient outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":118247,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ise_prev_year":0,"imp_prev_year":0,"ise_next_year":0,"imp_next_year":0,"ise_last_date":0,"imp_last_date":0,"ise_next_date":0,"imp_next_date":0,"data":{"subtitle":"Full immersion in hernia repair","year":2026,"slug":"2026-inguinal-ventral-complex-abdominal-wall-repair-cawr-surgery-advanced-course","options":{"A":{"key":"A","title":"OPTION A | Theoretical sessions","items":[{"text":"Theoretical sessions","checked":true},{"text":"Live or pre-recorded operative demonstrations","checked":true},{"text":"1\/2 day of laparoscopic training on live tissue","checked":false},{"text":"Coffee breaks and lunches at IRCAD","checked":true},{"text":"Friday dinner at Brasserie Les Haras","checked":true}],"warning":"","displayOtherYearCourseButton":null,"displayOtherYearCourseButtonIsVisible":false,"noDatesAvailableCustomMessage":"No dates are currently available.","noDatesAvailableMessage":{"text":"No dates are currently available.","force_show_message":false},"specialOffer":{"text":"","courseId":null},"feature_image_id":118249},"B":{"key":"B","title":"OPTION B | Practical training on live tissue","items":[{"text":"Theoretical sessions","checked":true},{"text":"Live or pre-recorded operative demonstrations","checked":true},{"text":"1\/2 day of laparoscopic training on live tissue","checked":true},{"text":"Coffee breaks and lunches at IRCAD","checked":true},{"text":"Friday dinner at Brasserie Les Haras","checked":true},{"text":"","checked":false}],"warning":"","displayOtherYearCourseButton":null,"displayOtherYearCourseButtonIsVisible":false,"noDatesAvailableCustomMessage":"No dates are currently available.","noDatesAvailableMessage":{"text":"No dates are currently available.","force_show_message":false},"specialOffer":{"text":"","courseId":null},"feature_image_id":118251}},"language":"English","details":{"boardsLists":{"leftboards":[{"title":"Course directors and co-directors","content":[{"name":"Prof S.
