Free public talk on hernia treatments and robotic surgery advances

A free public event on hernias and their treatment will take place on November 26 at 7:00 PM. Organised by the Maria Hilf Hospitals Support Association, the session will feature insights from Professor Dr. Andreas Kirschniak, a leading surgeon in Mönchengladbach. Attendees will learn about modern surgical options, including advanced robotic techniques for complex cases.

Hernias, often called abdominal wall hernias, occur when weak spots develop in the abdominal wall. Between 3 and 5 percent of Germans experience this condition, with men affected more frequently than women. Most cases require surgery to prevent complications.

The information evening offers a chance for patients and families to ask questions about hernia treatment. Modern techniques, such as robotic surgery, are improving recovery times and outcomes. Those interested can attend without registration on November 26 at the Maria Hilf Hospitals.
