Such a great lecture from David Sanders on hernia meshes. I would have loved this information as a trainee as I used to find it all so confusing. British Hernia Society #CAWR #hernia

You are correct SueB. I whole heartedly agree. As a surgeon if you are unable to offer the variety of surgical options that ACTUALLY work - specifically for elective repairs of parastomal hernias - then you should absolutely refer on to a CAWR specialist who can!
