Belgian Section for Abdominal Wall Surgery

BANNER


Introduction

As a section of the Belgian Royal Society for Surgery, we welcome you to the website of the Belgian Section for Abdominal Wall Surgery. We represent the surgeons with a specific interest in abdominal wall surgery. Our aim is to improve the quality of the surgery of the entire abdominal wall surgery performed in Belgium. 

Obtaining our goal is based on increasing knowledge and skills as well as on continuous survey and audit of training and practice. Therefore scientific meetings and workshops will be organised either for all members or for working groups on either a local or otherwise national level, such as the Belgian Week of Surgery.

Make sure to take a look at our upcoming events to pin your agenda or find our past events in the sections below. You can also find intereseting video and links to international guidelines concerning hernia repair on this page.
