Honored to be invited as faculty at the Dubai Hernia Summit

Honoured to be invited as faculty at the Dubai Hernia Summit held at The Ritz-Carlton DIFC Dubai, where I had the privilege of interacting with top global experts in Hernia and Robotic Abdominal Wall Surgery.

I delivered two invited talks:

▪️ Robotic eTEP for Recurrent Incisional Hernias
▪️ Fasciotens in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR)

Both sessions were very well received and appreciated by the audience, leading to insightful academic discussions.

I was also invited for a DHS podcast and had the special opportunity to interview Conrad Ballecer, the robotic hernia pioneer from Phoenix, USA, for Mentor’s Cut — a deeply enriching conversation on his life, journey, and surgical philosophy.

It was wonderful reconnecting with friends and colleagues from across the world and creating some very warm memories over these two days of high-quality academic exchange.

A special mention to Prof. Ramana Balasubramaniam for leading this humongous effort as part of the key organizing committee, along with Hatem Moussa from Dubai — thank you for the warm hospitality and an exceptionally well-organized summit.

Grateful for the experience, the learning, and the global collaboration.
