A few notes On Hernia Symposium

An interesting day has drawn to an end

Still confused, how a surgeon can mend



A simple hernia, an enigma so basic

Even google offers thousand solutions on a click



Devices,  plugs, or a simple stitch for umbilicus

Or just put a mesh to avoid the fuss



TEPPS, TAPS, the age old Leichenstein

Thank you all that suits me fine



Tailor according to your needs

Remember, the patients’ wishes supersede



Formulas, filaments, fibres and complex jargon

The search for the ideal mesh goes on



There is no dearth to what we can achieve

Only if the powers (mangers) above us believe



Thank you Ethicon for “the future of hernia repair”

Was discussed, debated and laid bare



Now we go on our separate ways

What we learnt, we pass to others I pray
