Precision. Techniques. Technology.
20–21 November 2026 (Fri–Sat) · KTP Advanced Surgery Training Centre, National University Hospital, Singapore
Abdominal wall reconstruction has moved fast — robotics, retromuscular planes, mesh selection, dynamic imaging, and a growing understanding of chronic post-operative pain. This two-day meeting brings that whole picture into one room, pairing didactic sessions with live cases and hands-on training under direct supervision from international and regional faculty.
It is built for surgeons who want their hands on the equipment, not just a seat in the auditorium. Alongside the scientific programme, delegates rotate through practical stations covering robotic simulation, diagnostic workup, complication management, and the operational side of running a dedicated hernia service.
Programme Highlights
- Robotic Simulation Area — console time and structured simulation tasks
- Diagnostic Corner Center — imaging and workup of the complex abdominal wall
- Complications Clinic — mesh infection, recurrence and salvage strategies
- Make Your Own Hernia Center — how to build and run a dedicated hernia unit
- Deep Dive in Rectus Diastasis — assessment, indications and repair options
- Chronic Pain & MSK Management — the post-operative problem most programmes skip
- Live cases and hands-on training with international and local faculty
