Rochester, MN US
August 20, 2016

Course Director: David R. Farley, M.D.

This course aims to provide an overview of laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (VHR) for general surgeons who may not have expansive knowledge of the technique. An experienced VHR surgeon will provide didactics, tips and tricks of minimally invasive surgery and the opportunity to practice the procedure on cadavers, inanimate models, and with video gaming techniques. This course will allow general surgeons who perform VHR, an opportunity to learn and refine the laparoscopic VHR technique from an experienced VHR surgeon.  In addition, participants will have the opportunity to practice their technique using simulation models, video resources and cadaveric specimens. This is the first offering of this course at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
