The International Hernia Collaboration
Next Meeting: Dubai January 2025
About The International Hernia Collaboration
Who We Are
The International Hernia Collaboration was created by surgeons looking for an additional education outlet and a way to continue surgical conversations. Over 10 years, this group has expanded tremendously into an international platform for all hernia surgeons and hernia industry friends interested in the repair of hernia and optimizing outcomes to come together to collaborate, share, discuss, post photos, post videos, and simply post anything related to the disease of hernia. This site and group is NOT intended for patients. Patients looking for consults can contact Dr. Brian Jacob by email. By embracing social media as a collaborative forum, we can more effectively and transparently obtain immediate global feedback that in turn has potential to improve both patient outcomes as well as the quality of care we provide.
How to Join
The International Hernia Collaboration is a private Facebook group, and posts will always be held to the highest standards available. All members wishing to join are vetted. Posts will be professional, and inappropriate posts and posts that violate USA HIPAA compliance rules will be deleted. The posts are part of a social forum, and comments are individual opinions. Anyone seeing these posts should avoid interpreting the posts as standard of care or as final medical advice. This group is NOT for patients. Patients who might see these posts should always consult their own doctor, not these posts, for all specific medical questions and decisions.
