The SWISS HERNIA DAYS are known for a unique and innovative congress concept. Therefore, in 2024 we will provide the 4TH SWISS HERNIA DAYS ANATOMICAL WORKSHOP. The Anatomical Workshop will take place prior to the main congress at the 23th October 2024 at the Anatomical Institute of the University Basel and focusses on extraperitoneal minimally invasive techniques in ventral hernia repair.

Registration to the Anatomical Workshop is only possible together with a congress registration and limited to 28 participants.
