“Hernia” from Start to Finish: Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery Live Broadcast Week

On April 28, 2025, the “Hernia” from Start to Finish: Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery Live Broadcast Week concluded successfully. As the exclusive mesh sponsor for this event, Contina Medical, together with the Hernia Surgery Team of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, comprehensively demonstrated the outstanding performance and clinical value of Contina hernia repair meshes through three high-quality, multi-type live surgical broadcasts, attracting many surgeons to observe and learn online and earning high praise.

At the beginning of the live broadcast, Professor Chen Shuang from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University delivered a speech. Professor Chen expressed his deep honor to be invited to this academic live event and extended sincere greetings to medical colleagues participating online and offline. He stated that the establishment of this online live surgical teaching platform not only provides surgeons with access to standardized technical learning that transcends time and space constraints but also fosters a multi-dimensional academic exchange ecosystem. Professor Chen particularly noted the expectation that through the deep integration of real-time surgical demonstrations and professional discussions, the dissemination and application of new concepts and technologies in the field of minimally invasive surgery would be promoted, sparking innovative ideas through the collision of thoughts. Finally, Professor Chen wished the live surgical broadcast event great success and encouraged all participants to gain valuable insights, jointly promoting the high-quality development of China’s surgical medicine.

Laparoscopic Bilateral Inguinal Hernia Tension-Free Repair (TEP)

The first case involved an elderly patient with bilateral indirect inguinal hernias. During the procedure, Professor Ma Ning from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University used Contina’s 3D curved mesh to perform the Laparoscopic Bilateral Inguinal Hernia Tension-Free Repair (TEP). Leveraging its excellent biocompatibility and tensile strength, the mesh precisely covered the “myopectineal orifice” under laparoscopic view, effectively reducing the risk of postoperative recurrence. Professor Ma Ning specifically noted that the preformed design and tailorable characteristics of Contina’s 3D curved mesh significantly simplified intraoperative steps, and the positioning markers indicated placement location, making the operation more convenient.

Laparoscopic Right Inguinal Hernia Tension-Free Repair (TAPP)

During the demonstration of Laparoscopic Right Inguinal Hernia Tension-Free Repair (TAPP), Professor Zhou Taicheng from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University performed the operation using Contina’s 3D curved mesh.

Professor Zhou Taicheng pointed out during the surgery that Contina’s 3D curved mesh, with its unique softness and anatomical conformity, achieves seamless integration between the mesh and the abdominal wall anatomical structures.

Laparoscopic Bilateral Inguinal Hernia Tension-Free Repair (Single-Port TEP)

In the third live surgical case performed by Professor Ma Ning and Professor Hou Zehui from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, they successfully completed the highly challenging Laparoscopic Bilateral Inguinal Hernia Tension-Free Repair (Single-Port TEP), highlighting the crucial role of Contina’s 3D mesh during the procedure.

In this surgery, Contina’s 3D mesh received high recognition from the professors for its three-dimensional shaping design and precise anatomical adaptability. Professor Hou Zehui praised the mesh for perfectly conforming to the inguinal region, accurately covering the myopectineal orifice, offering easy operation and clear positioning, and significantly reducing the difficulty of single-port surgery. The application of Contina’s 3D mesh provides a “minimally invasive + precise” new solution for complex hernia repairs, helping transform single-port surgery from a “highly difficult technique” to a “routine option”.

Though the path of hernia repair is challenging, a good outcome can be achieved. Taking this live surgical broadcast week as an opportunity, Contina Medical, together with hernia surgery colleagues nationwide, will benefit more patients with innovative materials and exquisite surgical techniques, jointly writing a new chapter in China’s minimally invasive surgery!

The 7th Qiantang Hernia Forum

From April 18 to 19, 2025, the “7th Qiantang Hernia Forum,” hosted by the Hangzhou Medical Association and the Affiliated Hangzhou First People’s Hospital, Westlake University School of Medicine, was held grandly at Zhejiang Tianyuan Hotel. Top experts, scholars, and clinical leaders in the field of hernia and abdominal wall surgery gathered to deeply discuss the latest advances and key issues in the field.

On April 18, Professor Zhang Fangjie from Hangzhou First People’s Hospital performed an online live surgical demonstration of Laparoscopic Parastomal Hernia Repair. During the surgery, Professor Zhang used a composite hernia repair mesh developed by Contina Medical, combined with laparoscopic techniques, to complete the parastomal hernia repair, which involves complex anatomy and extremely high surgical difficulty. The entire procedure not only showcased Professor Zhang’s profound clinical skills but also fully demonstrated the material advantages and biocompatibility of Contina Medical’s composite hernia repair mesh, earning high recognition from attending experts.

The 7th Tongji Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Congress

From April 18 to 20, 2025, the “7th Tongji Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Congress & Hubei Provincial Association of Surgeons, Gastrointestinal Surgery Academic Conference & The 2nd Tongji Basic and Translational Research Symposium on Gastrointestinal Tumors,” hosted by the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Tongji Hospital Affiliated with Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, was held in Wuhan.

The congress, themed “Heritage, Standardization, Innovation, Collaboration,” brought together top experts in the gastrointestinal field from home and abroad to discuss the future development of gastrointestinal endoscopic surgery and basic research on tumors.

As a comprehensive surgical solution provider, Contina Medical prominently featured its series of tissue clips and hernia repair products. Through physical displays and clear technical explanations, Contina not only attracted the attention of many participants but also engaged in lively discussions with clinical experts regarding product technical advantages, precise surgical applications, and future clinical expansions.
