Industry Symposia

Thursday, April 28th, 2022, 5-6:30pm ET
Emergency Hernia Surgery Symposium

Join us for this video case-based discussion of acute care surgery hernia emergencies. Panelists will present each case with a brief description of the patient presentation, imaging studies and video of the intraoperative findings. Interactive discussions on next steps will follow culminating with a presentation on what procedure was actually done and how it turned out. Audience participation will be encouraged as panelists explore other options, tips and tricks.

Long-Term Outcomes after Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction with Bovine Acellular Dermal Matrix

Carmichael Jackson Room, Hilton Downtown Toronto

Please RSVP by Monday, April 25th, 2022 to integracanada.rsvp@integralife.com

Despite being classified together as acellular dermal matrices (ADMs), all biologics are not the same. They vary widely in both origin and processing. The result of this diversity are materials with inherently different biochemistries, mechanical properties, and host responses upon implantation. As clinical outcomes in hernia repair can be associated with biomechanical properties, it is reasonable to expect that outcomes might be different for different materials. 1

Dr. Vic Velanovich

Please join Dr. Vic Velanovich as he shares his approach to complex abdominal wall reconstruction with a bovine acellular dermal matrix (BADM). Dr. Velanovich’s presentation will include an in-depth look at the innovative science behind BADM, discussion on its long-term outcomes, and will review his experiences with a case study approach.
