13th DynaMesh® International Hernia Masterclass (#FL430)

Dear colleagues,

It is my great honour and sincere pleasure to invite you once again to Düsseldorf for the 13th DynaMesh® International Hernia Masterclass 2026.

Hernia surgery continues to advance at remarkable speed. Innovative operative concepts, technological progress, and an increasingly refined understanding of the pathophysiology of hernia disease and implanted materials are steadily expanding our therapeutic possibilities and contributing to improved long-term outcomes for our patients.

As in previous years, the 13th DynaMesh® International Hernia Masterclass 2026 will offer the opportunity to follow live operations performed by internationally renowned surgeons in three operating theatres and to engage in direct exchange with them. Our scientific programme is designed to provide practical insights into contemporary surgical techniques, as well as valuable tips and tricks from leading experts in the field. In addition to the live demonstrations, you may look forward to lectures by distinguished international speakers addressing current issues and future developments in complex hernia repair.

We hope that the 13th DynaMesh® International Hernia Masterclass 2026 will once again serve as a valuable platform for scientific exchange, the establishment of new professional relationships, and the strengthening of existing networks. The participation of colleagues from many different countries enables us to share experiences from diverse medical backgrounds and to learn from one another in a truly international setting.

Beyond the scientific programme, the Masterclass is also a meeting point for the international hernia community. It creates space for dialogue, fresh perspectives, and lasting professional connections across borders.

My team and I very much look forward to welcoming you in Düsseldorf, whether in person or virtually, and to sharing with you an inspiring and memorable congress experience.

With warm regards,

Dr. med. Konstantinos Zarras

Clinic for Visceral, Minimally Invasive and Oncological Surgery
