Translating Scientific Discoveries into Medical Innovation
Dr. George Hussey of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine discusses the institute's approach to translating scientific discoveries into medical innovation. He reviews scientific evidence and data from clinical and preclinical studies.
Let’s Chalk About Anatomy Series part 2: Anatomy of Lumbar Hernia and Anterior Component Separation
Professor Renard from Reims, France is a surgeon who specializes in anatomy with expertise in the treatment of complex and incisional hernias. He is known around the world for his chalk anatomy drawings. This is part two, - “Anatomy of Lumbar Hernia and Anterior Component Separation” of our three-part “Let’s Chalk About Anatomy Series”
Hiatal Hernia Repair with Phasix™ ST Mesh
Tanuja Damani, MD, FACS spoke during TRANSFORM in January 2025. In this presentation she reviews paraesophageal hernias and technique for repair. She discusses outcomes with mesh repair while helping the audience understand benefits and drawbacks of current mesh technology for hiatal hernia repair. She introduces Phasix™ ST Mesh and her rationale as well as evidence for clinical use in hiatal hernia repair. Finally she discusses a robotic approach to primary and revisional paraesophageal hernia repair.
Comprehensive Summary: Advancing Hernia Surgery – A Chronic Disease Framework
Hernias are now viewed as chronic conditions, with emphasis shifting from recurrence elimination to long-term management and quality of life. Surgeons must communicate transparently to build trust. Hernia repair materials have evolved significantly. Dr. Docimo discusses his clinical experience and adoption of bioabsorbable mesh while addressing quality of life as a central metric measured by patient-reported quality of life rather than just recurrence rates. He encourages surgeons to adopt a data-driven, patient-centered approach, contribute to research, and support standardized care through initiatives like Centers of Excellence and looking at the evolution of Hernia Surgery.

Hernia Night Live: Advancements in Robotic Inguinal Hernia Repair with Dr James Bittner & Dr Yuri Novitsky
The presentation highlights the growing trend of robotic inguinal hernia repair, showcasing its outcomes and learning curve. It compares surgical approaches, noting a shift towards robotic techniques. Post-operative pain analysis suggests less pain and faster recovery with robotic methods. Training on mesh placement and the importance of preoperative imaging are discussed, along with the preference for robotic surgery in complex cases. The session wraps up with gratitude and well wishes.
Dr. Badylak: Phasix™ Mesh
This session features Dr. Stephen Badylak’s lecture “The Science of Phasix™ Mesh Powered by P4HB” with Spanish subtitles. In this broadcast Dr. Badylak, Deputy Director of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Director of the Center for Pre-Clinical Engineering at the Institute, provides a deep dive into the science of Phasix™ Mesh. Discussion includes the origins of Phasix™ Mesh, its rare composition, how its unique properties differentiate it from other bioresorbable materials, an overview of the degradation process and how it reacts in-vivo studies.

HNL: Transforming my hernia practice as a community surgeon; algorithms, outcomes, economics, robotics and mesh
Dr. Amber Koon shares her journey in revolutionizing her hernia practice as a young community-based surgeon and making a positive impact on her patients' lives. During this presentation, she will highlight the utilization of Phasix™ Mesh for acute care patients. Dr. Koon will delve into her decision-making algorithm for hernia repair and her pursuit of expertise in more advanced robotic procedures, all while enhancing her knowledge of intricate mesh materials. As a community-based surgeon with a focus on advanced robotics, comprehending the value-based shared care model and effectively monitoring patient outcomes is integral to her success.
Part 1 of IPOM Panel Talk Series
Part 1 of our IPOM Series with surgeons from around the globe! During these events we will have a panel of key opinion leaders in this space discussing IPOM; how it has evolved over time, if there is still a place for it; procedural pros and cons, clinical publications as well as reviewing interesting case overviews.
