Join Drs. Jason Bingham (@BinghamMd) and Patrick Georgoff (@georgoff) for a thought-provoking discussion with titans of hernia surgery Drs. Todd Heniford (@THeniford) and Michael Rosen (@MikeRosenMD). You don't want to miss this one! This episode goes deep, touching on some of the most vexing questions in the world of abdominal wall reconstruction.Highlights:
- Hernia is chronic disease process. Surgeons should act like it and patients need to understand this.
- Follow-up data is hard to come by and therefore limited. Studies must be interpreted with this in mind.
- Hernia surgery is sexy, which is both exciting and concerning.
- "Technology is not useful until it is boring." New techniques and devices can hurt patients.
- Complicated hernias should be sent to hernia centers. Otherwise, general surgeons are more than capable of doing the repair.
