Abdominal wall hernias are increasingly becoming an area of surgical practice. We have had many advances in the last years, from new anatomical knowledge, new surgical techniques and the increasing possibility of using minimally invasive ways (videolaparoscopy and robotics). The postgraduate course in abdominal wall hernias will cover the complete formation necessary for clinical and surgical practice in the correction of abdominal wall defects. There will be 4 modules covering from anatomical concepts of the abdominal wall, main surgical techniques, inguinal, ventral, incisional, lumbar and hiatus hernia. Through modules with extensive delivery of theoretical content, interspersed with practical activities in live models, cadaver lab, use of various simulation platforms and immersion activities with monitoring and Hands on practice in cases in the operating room accompanied by professors who are expert surgeons in abdominal wall and major references in the area.

The training is theoretical and practical for knowledge of the operation and components of the technological platform to be used in surgery.
All face-to-face training will involve the use of:
- Simulation center and in the operating room, focusing on normal operation and problem solving.
- Complementary pre-clinical training that will involve the development of motor skills based on simulation of the surgical techniques that are the focus of the training.
- Surgical techniques will also be combined with the observation of surgical cases, giving the student experience as an assistant in procedures, as well as carrying out procedures in training and under supervision.
- All these steps will be overseen by a preceptor surgeon with extensive practical experience and consolidated knowledge in the technical area being trained.
The classes will take place as follows:
- EAD lectures given by leading professionals in the field, presentation of live surgeries and discussion of clinical cases.
- Practical training on living and inanimate models.
- Observational internship, which provides experience with the real routine of the Minimally Invasive Surgery service.
