AIM of the Workshop:- To train surgeons & Surgery Postgraduates on the eTEP & TAPP hernia repair techniques.

Introduction: The workshop began with an introduction to the TAPP &  eTEP hernia repair techniques, their benefits, and indications. The faculty also discussed the different types of hernias that can be repaired using these techniques.

Live Surgery: The main part of the workshop involved a live surgery demonstration of the TAPP & eTEP hernia repair technique. The faculty explained each step of the procedure as it was being performed and answered questions from the audience. The surgery was performed using laparoscopic instruments and specialized retractors to create the working space for the repair.

Hands-On Training: After the live surgery demonstration, the attendees had the opportunity to practice the hernia repair techniques on simulated models under the guidance of the faculty. The hands-on training allowed the attendees to practice the technique and receive feedback from experienced surgeons.

Complications and Management: During the workshop, the faculty also discussed the potential complications associated with TAPP & eTEP hernia repair techniques and how to manage them. The attendees learned about the common complications that can arise during or after the surgery, such as bleeding, nerve injury, and mesh-related complications.

Postoperative Care: The workshop concluded with a discussion on the postoperative care of patients who have undergone TAPP & eTEP hernia repairs. The faculty provided guidelines on pain management, wound care, and follow-up appointments.

        In conclusion, the live operative workshop on TAPP & eTEP hernia repair was an excellent opportunity for surgeons to learn a new technique for repairing abdominal hernias. The combination of live surgery demonstration and hands-on training provided a comprehensive understanding of the TAPP & eTEP hernia repair techniques. The workshop also addressed potential complications associated with the technique and how to manage them, as well as postoperative care for patients.
