Fellowship in Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery
The Fellowship in Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery offered by MGA Medical Global Academy is a focused advanced programme for surgeons and medical practitioners interested in developing knowledge of minimally invasive surgical approaches for hernia repair. The programme covers modern laparoscopic techniques including TEP, TAPP and IPOM, along with patient assessment, mesh placement strategies and post-operative management. The fellowship is delivered online and focuses on developing surgical knowledge, laparoscopic techniques and decision-making abilities. Expert mentorship and case-based discussions provide opportunities to understand advanced hernia procedures, complication management, robotic-assisted surgery concepts and evidence-based surgical practices. With the growing use of minimally invasive procedures worldwide, knowledge of laparoscopic hernia surgery can support professional development across hospitals, surgical centres and gastrointestinal surgery units.
Outcome
By the end of this fellowship, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles and techniques of laparoscopic hernia surgery
- Assess patients, plan procedures and make appropriate surgical decisions
- Develop knowledge of TEP, TAPP, IPOM and advanced ventral hernia repair procedures
- Interpret imaging findings related to abdominal wall and groin hernias
- Understand mesh selection, placement and approaches to reducing complications
- Understand post-operative care and management of common surgical complications
- Develop knowledge of robotic-assisted and advanced minimally invasive hernia procedures
- Apply evidence-based practices and international surgical guidelines in hernia management
- Strengthen knowledge of laparoscopic suturing, port placement and operative techniques
- Build confidence through case-based surgical discussions and expert mentorship
Career Opportunities
This fellowship can support career development in minimally invasive and gastrointestinal surgery, including:
- Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery Practitioner
- Minimally Invasive Surgery Practitioner
- General Practitioner with Advanced Hernia Surgery Knowledge
- Surgical Associate in Hernia and GI Surgery Units
- Opportunities in hospitals, surgical centres and specialty hernia clinics
