The Sages Manual of Hernia Surgery by S. Scott Davis, Jr.

Description: This proposal will outline a new manual in the SAGES Manual Series. This new publication will serve as a curriculum in print for the new Masters Program, a stepwise program of learning and coaching being developed by the society. The Masters Program organizes educational materials along clinical pathways into discrete blocks of content which could be accessed by a surgeon attending the SAGES annual meeting or by logging into the online SAGES University. The SAGES Masters program currently has 8 pathways including: Acute Care, Biliary, Bariatrics. Colon, Foregut, Hernia, Flex Endoscopy and Robotic Surgery. Each pathway is divided into three levels of targeted performance: Competency, proficiency, and mastery. The levels originate from the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition, which has five stages: novice, advanced beginner, competency, proficiency, and expertise. The SAGES MASTERS Program is based on the three more advanced stages of skill acquisition: competency, proficiency, and expertise. Competency is defined as what a graduating general surgery chief resident or MIS fellow should be able to achieve; proficiency is what a surgeon approximately out from training should be able to accomplish; and mastery is what more experienced surgeons should be able to accomplish after several years in practice. Mastery is applicable to SAGES surgeons seeking in-depth knowledge in a pathway, including the following: Areas of controversy, outcomes, best practice, and ability to mentor colleagues. Over time, with the utilization of coaching and participation in SAGES courses, this level should be obtainable by the majority of SAGES members. This edition of the SAGES Manual of Hernia Surgery aligns with the current version of the new SAGES University MASTERS Program Hernia Surgery pathway. This manual will serve as a curriculum for participants in the MASTERS Program as well as a modern text on hernia surgery for all learners. Hernia surgery is one of the fastest developing fields in General Surgery today. There have been rapid advancements in hernia techniques in recent years which make most prior texts on the subject obsolete. These advancements involve significant evolution in both the techniques and strategies for hernia repairs, as well as the tools used to achieve these means. This text will thoroughly address the multiple component separation techniques and options for locations of mesh repairs. It will also discuss the revolution of hernia repair being facilitated by robotic surgery, which allows increased access to minimally invasive techniques for surgeons and thus increased access to minimally invasive surgical repairs for patients. This manual will serve as a complete resource for interested surgeons to understand the variety of potential approaches to individual hernias and to individually tailor the care of the hernia patient.
