Last talk of International Hernia Collaboration #IHC2023. And one of the best. With Andrea Pakula MD, MPH, FACS regarding minimally invasive mesh removal. Don’t try this at home. It should be done by professionals who understand pelvic anatomy and are surgically gifted.

Great session this morning at DV360 with 2 powerhouse ACS surgeons Andrea Pakula MD, MPH, FACS & Joseph Sakran. Highlighting the benefit robotic surgery can have in ACS & the need to provide this resource to this patient population. This takes an investment from the entire care team!
