Hernia Innovation Days 2026

Faenza

October  1-2  2026

Introduction
Hernia Innovation Days 2026 will bring together leading national experts in abdominal wall surgery for two days dedicated to innovation in clinical pathways, surgical approaches, operative techniques and emerging technologies for the treatment of abdominal wall defects. Following the success of the 2025 edition, the second edition will broaden the focus of the meeting: from individual techniques to comprehensive strategies, from isolated procedures to structured care pathways, and from defect repair to the multidisciplinary management of complex patients. Guiding principle: Right patient, right setting, right technique, right team.
Alongside the main congress, the programme will include satellite activities such as dedicated courses, interactive sessions and expert debates, creating a dynamic platform for discussion, training and professional exchange.
