Honoured to speak at the CME “Fortifying the Frontline: Abdominal Wall Reconstruction” at AFMC Pune, organised by the Department of Surgery, AFMC Pune, in collaboration with the Poona Surgical Society (11 Oct 2025).
In my session on “Versatility of Ventral TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal) Approach, ” I shared how laparoscopic and robotic TAPP techniques can be applied across all abdominal quadrants—including large (W3) and complex recurrent hernias, even in patients with multiple prior surgeries.
The discussion was supported by operative videos and follow-up CT imaging.
The preperitoneal approach, pioneered by Dr Todd Heniford, remains a powerful, anatomy-respecting strategy—technically demanding, yet remarkably versatile.
Grateful for the engaging academic discussions and the opportunity to present alongside esteemed AWRSC faculty and colleagues.
Sincere thanks to the AFMC leadership and organising team for an exceptionally conducted CME.
