American Hernia Society 2019 Conference Presentations and Notes?
-
I think that you mean the Americas Hernia Society, with an “s”. Interesting topics, many focused on how to keep using mesh. “Managing” pain instead of avoiding it. Just incredible how the device makers are getting their way. There is even have a special Hernia Compact course to teach a new crop of mesh surgeons how to do it. I wonder if the course material includes tissue-based repairs? I would like to see the course material, it will tell where the industry is going, good or bad.
There are still some topics about tissue-based repair and discussion about what’s best, it seems. It will be hard to stop an 8 billion dollar market though. That’s a lot of lobbying money.
