Dr Ihsan Inan participated as international faculty at the American Hernia Society (AHS) Annual Meeting, one of the most influential scientific meetings dedicated to abdominal wall surgery and hernia repair worldwide.
The AHS meeting brings together leading surgeons, researchers and educators involved in the development of robotic hernia surgery, abdominal wall reconstruction and minimally invasive techniques.
Participation as international faculty reflects recognition within the global community of abdominal wall surgeons and contributes to the international exchange of expertise in robotic abdominal wall surgery.

Expert Session - Diastasis Recti Management
During the congress, Dr Inan participated in the expert panel session entitled:
“Where Are We with Diastasis Recti Management?”
Multidisciplinary Discussion
This session brought together international specialists to review current concepts in the management of rectus diastasis, discussing the functional implications of the condition and the role of surgical reconstruction.
Topics addressed included abdominal wall anatomy, the biomechanical significance of the linea alba, and the evolving indications for surgical repair.
Robotic Repair of Diastasis Recti
As part of this session, Dr Inan delivered a lecture focusing on posterior robotic repair of rectus diastasis.
Step-by-Step Robotic Reconstruction
The presentation described a step-by-step robotic approach to reconstruction of the linea alba, highlighting the role of minimally invasive techniques in restoring abdominal wall function.
Key elements discussed included:
posterior midline reconstruction strategies
robotic suturing techniques for diastasis repair
integration of robotic platforms in modern abdominal wall surgery
The lecture illustrated how robotic hernia surgery techniques can be applied to functional reconstruction of the abdominal wall in selected patients.
International Exchange in Abdominal Wall Surgery
The session gathered recognised experts from major international institutions and addressed multiple aspects of abdominal wall reconstruction, including:
functional implications of diastasis recti
open and minimally invasive repair techniques
management strategies when associated with ventral hernias
Participation in the American Hernia Society Annual Meeting reflects continued involvement in international surgical education and scientific collaboration in robotic hernia surgery.
These activities also reflect the experience developed in specialised centres performing robotic abdominal wall surgery in Geneva.
