The Aim of this CME Programme was to understand the  anatomical & surgical aspects of Groin Hernia. It also dealt with recent advances in the management of Groin Hernia by esteemed speakers.

Groin Hernias can be indirect, direct & femoral based on location. Their repair is an extremely common operation performed by surgeons.
