For fourteen years, the South China Sea has surged with academic tides; now, a new chapter in herniology unfolds in Zhanjiang. On September 19-20, 2025, the “15th Southern Hernia Forum & Annual Conference of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery Branch of Zhanjiang Medical Association & 3rd Western Guangdong Hernia Forum” was grandly held in Zhanjiang City, the “Southern Port City · City of Charm.”

Continuing the academic legacy of fourteen years, this forum innovatively presented a high-quality live broadcast of teaching surgeries, comprehensively showcasing the latest concepts and exquisite techniques in the field of hernia and abdominal wall surgery. During the forum, Contina Medical demonstrated the superior performance of its exclusive domestic product—the inguinal hernia composite mesh (self-fixating mesh)—through surgical demonstrations and an on-site booth.

Contina Medical · Surgical Demonstration

Professor Ma Ning from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University used Contina’s self-fixating mesh to perform the complex procedure of “laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair with mesh + fundoplication + bilateral inguinal hernia tension-free repair.” During the surgery, thanks to the exclusive domestic design of polylactic acid micro-hooks, the mesh spontaneously grasped the tissue, eliminating the need for sutures and achieving reliable fixation. This simplified intraoperative manipulation and reduced complications associated with traumatic fixation.

Professor Ma Ning specifically noted that the unique self-fixating property of the absorbable micro-hooks grasping tissue, combined with the mesh’s anatomical design, enables seamless conformity with the inguinal anatomy, preventing displacement and facilitating operator handling. The real-time demonstration of the self-fixating effect during surgery further validated its stable adhesion under complex anatomical conditions, earning high recognition and praise from the attending experts.

Contina Medical · Satellite Symposium

At the Contina Medical satellite symposium, Professor Li Baoshan from Tianjin Union Medical Center delivered a special lecture titled “Application of Composite Hernia Repair Mesh in Umbilical Hernia Repair.” He deeply analyzed the design principles, material properties, and unique advantages of Contina’s composite hernia repair mesh in umbilical hernia repair. Drawing on a wealth of clinical cases, he elaborated on surgical techniques, complication prevention strategies, and postoperative management essentials, providing comprehensive and practical guidance for the attending physicians.

Professor Ma Ning presented a lecture titled “Application of Self-Fixating Mesh in Laparoscopic Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair.” He began by explaining the unique material properties and innovative design concepts of Contina’s self-fixating mesh, detailing its significant advantages over traditional meshes in terms of surgical convenience and reduction of postoperative complications. Furthermore, using rich surgical video materials, Professor Ma meticulously analyzed and demonstrated key steps, operational techniques, and potential difficulties during the procedure. This enabled participants to intuitively and clearly understand and master the relevant knowledge and skills, providing valuable reference and guidance for the clinical application of self-fixating mesh in laparoscopic abdominal wall hernia repair.

Additionally, Chen Yan from the Marketing Department of Contina Medical shared a专题 presentation titled “The Combined Arsenal in Hernia Surgery.” As one of the domestic manufacturers with the most comprehensive mesh product lines, Contina Medical consistently keeps pace with the development of Chinese hernia surgeons, adhering to the core concept of R&D and innovation.
