Abdominal wall hernias are increasingly becoming an area of surgical practice. There have been many advances in recent years, from new anatomical knowledge, new surgical techniques and the increasing possibility of using minimally invasive routes (laparoscopy and robotics). The postgraduate course in abdominal wall hernias will provide the complete training necessary for clinical and surgical practice in the correction of abdominal wall defects. There will be 4 modules covering anatomical concepts of the abdominal wall, the main surgical techniques, inguinal hernias, ventral hernias, incisional hernias, lumbar hernias and hiatus hernias. Through modules with extensive delivery of theoretical content, interspersed with practical activities in live model, cadaver lab, use of various simulation platforms and immersion activities with monitoring and hands-on practice in cases in the operating room accompanied by teachers who are expert surgeons in the abdominal wall and great references in the field.
