Asia Pacific Hernia Society NEWSLETTER

Message fromThe President

Dear Colleagues,

Greetings for the New Year 2015.

Our 10th International Congress of APHS in Jaipur, Rajastan, India, during 6–8 November 2014 was

a great success. Thanks to the host, the Hernia Society of India, for arranging the most memorable

scientific and social programmes. It was well attended by 500 participants from around the world.

On behalf of the APHS, I would like to give special thanks to Dr Anil Sharma, who faithfully served as

the editor of the APHS newsletter since its beginning. All these years, he also maintained the APHS

website, www.aphernia.org. These tasks will now be resumed by our energetic colleague Dr Manish

Baijal, as appointed by the APHS Executive Committee in our last meeting in Jaipur. Dr Baijal's

dedication to these responsibilities is very much appreciated. We will all give him full support and

cooperation.

This year, the APHS will join EHS and AHS, Australasian Hernia Society and Afro-Middle East

Hernia Society in organizing the 1st World Conference on Abdominal Wall Hernia Surgery, Milan,

Italy, 25–29 April 2015.

I would encourage our APHS members to participate in good numbers. The APHS is collaborating

with EHS and AHS and Australasian Hernia Society in developing and implementing “International

Guidelines for Treatment of Groin Hernia in Adult Patients”. The work is ongoing; the finished draft is

expected to be presented in the 1st World Conference on Abdominal Wall Hernia Surgery in Milan,

April 2015.

Hope to see your all in April, in Milan.

I am humbled to be entrusted with the responsibility of managing the APHS newsletter.

The 10th International Congress of the Asia Pacific Hernia Society (APHS 2014) at Jaipur, India from

6 to 8 November 2014 was a huge success and attended by around 500 participants from across the

world. The state-of-the-art lectures, symposia, live surgeries, industry exhibits and social

functions—all generated tremendous response from delegates and guests. The next APHS Congress

will be organized in Milan, Italy on 25–29 April 2015 in conjunction with the 1st World Conference

on Abdominal Wall Hernia Surgery. We are grateful to the President and Secretary General for their leadership and guidance, which has

strengthened the foundation of the APHS. We are proud that the Hernia Journal is now the official

journal of the APHS. We are also grateful to the leaders of the national hernia societies for upholding

the spirit and carrying forward the mission of the APHS in their individual countries. We currently

have 11 national chapters in place.

Herniology has emerged as a superspecialty in itself and the APHS acknowledges the role of the

industry in its progress and technological development in the Asia Pacific region.

The Newsletter aims to keep our colleagues well informed of the latest news and events related to

herniology in the Asia Pacific region and beyond. I request the members of the APHS and the office

bearers of all national hernia societies to contribute any interesting surgery videos for the APHS

website and any relevant news for the forthcoming newsletters to ensure buzz-worthy and notable

issues.

All information may be mailed to:

Warm regards,

One of the objectives of the Singapore Hernia Society is to further the learning of art and science of hernia surgery for

surgical trainees and practising surgeons. Towards achieving this goal, the first dedicated hernia workshop was

organized at the Advanced Surgical Training Centre (ASTC) at the National University Hospital (NUH) in 2003. Since

then, we have conducted yearly courses in abdominal wall surgery—laparoscopic and open approaches, involving

world-experienced hernia specialists and attracting participants, both local and from overseas.

The Philippine Hernia Society

For the year 2014, the Philippine Chapter of the APHS, the Philippine Hernia Society, conducted several laparoscopic

hernia workshops in conjunction with the Philippine Association of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgeons. One

workshop was held in Manila at the Philippine Center for Advanced Surgery and another workshop was held in Davao

located in the southern part of the Philippines. The Davao workshop was unique since the participants after attending

the lectures were able to individually operate on a hernia patient with guidance from a faculty who was scrubbed in. We

have also endorsed several meetings and small group discussions and live demonstrations of different hernia techniques

and materials, which were done in several hospitals throughout the country. The year was capped with a session of the

APHS Philippine Chapter during the PCS Annual Convention in December 2014; this was graced by the attendance of no

less a person than our President, Professor Sathien Tumtavitikul.

Dr George Yang (President) Dr Lawrence LAN Chuen-leung (Secretary General)

The Hong Kong Hernia Society

The Hong Kong Hernia Society was established in April

2013. The formation of the society is to support the

research, development and training of hernia disease

management and promote public awareness of this

disease. In 2013, the Society successfully organized the

9th Asia Pacific Hernia Society International Congress

in Hong Kong. It was a great success with over 350

participants from around the world.

In 2014, we provided support to our members for

overseas hernia surgery training, as part of our society's

goal. Thanks to Professor Bittner and his team in

Germany, who accepted our surgeon for TAPP training. She has gained hugely in skill training and approach for various

types of groin hernia repair. She is now back in Hong Kong and is starting to pass on her skills to her fellow surgeons. It is

a very successful exercise which we will continue to support in the future.

In September 2014, we held a Luncheon Symposium with support from Covidien at Mira Hotel. Mr Christophe

Erembert was the invited speaker from the mesh and development branch of Covidien in France. It was a very valuable

lecture which told us a lot about mesh engineering and design, which all hernia surgeons should know in order to provide

proper care and choice for their patients.

In November 2014, we had our Annual Clinical Meeting and Gala Dinner. Currently, we have a total of 213 members, i.e.

128 ordinary members and 85 associate members. Our web site is www.hernia.com.hk

APHS Website (www.aphernia.org) WWW

The APHS website was initially conceptualized and created by Dr Davide Lomanto at Singapore. From 2005 to 2014, Dr Anil

Sharma looked after the website. In 2014, this task has been entrusted to Dr Manish Baijal and the website is being designed

and maintained from New Delhi, India.

The website features comprehensive lists of general members, executive members and office bearers of the APHS. Information

on the Hernia Journal, and links with related organizations are provided. The Video gallery features crisp edited short videos

on groin and ventral incisional hernia repair performed by international experts. A corporate corner is created where it is

envisaged that hernia-related products would be displayed by various medical corporates.

I would request all the Presidents and Secretary Generals of the

respective national chapters who have not sent their recent

photographs, and the photographs of their country-related

events, to kindly send them so that we may update the website and

the next issue of the newsletter.

Any interesting videos or news relevant to be posted on the APHS

website may be mailed to [email protected] (videos may be

shared through DropBox on the same email id).
