Hernia Days 2027 of the German Hernia Society

The 2027 Hernia Days are fast approaching, and the more than 1,500 members of the German Hernia Society are looking forward to an inspiring event in Leipzig! Experience the largest hernia surgery conference in Germany.
Cross-generational, innovative, exciting. Hardly any other surgical discipline is evolving as rapidly as hernia surgery!
The Westin Leipzig has already proven at the 2025 Hernia Days that it is an ideal venue for a conference of this size. The program for the Herniamed study meeting on Thursday, January 21, 2027, will offer an opportunity to learn about the latest developments from the world’s most comprehensive hernia registry. On the same day, the UEMS Section of the DHG will administer an exam for the title “Fellow of the European Association of Medical Specialists” in German to qualify for specialization in hernia surgery (FEBS-AWS).

During the two days of the conference, January 22 and 23, 2027, “live-like” video sessions are planned, including one titled: “Gold Standard vs. New Procedures and Materials.”

The other main Topics are:

• Complicated Incisional Hernias
• Update “Cost Coverage in Hernia Surgery”
• Management of Large Diaphragmatic Hernias
• „Quo vadis“ with Training in Hernia Surgery

As the host country in 2027, Switzerland will organize its own session, because Swiss hernia surgery is more than just «Swiss Cheese»!

Be there!
