Series Overview
This series will focus on providing community general surgeons with information about best practices surrounding common surgical procedures performed on the pediatric population. SCW will partner with pediatric specialists from American Family Children’s Hospital to communicate changes in national practice guidelines for pediatric surgical care. This activity has been approved for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and 1.0 American Board of Surgery MOC Part 2 points.
We will start this series off with a discussion on pediatric umbilical hernia repair. In Wisconsin, pediatric umbilical hernias are often repaired at younger ages than evidence-based best practices recommend, and earlier on average than in other states. Dr. Jonathan Kohler will discuss timing of repair, surgical techniques including contraindications to using mesh, and appropriate postoperative opioid prescribing. We will be hosting six sessions on this topic across the next few months in order to reach the most providers. Each session will be the same, so you only need to attend once. Suggested new topics and guidance are welcome at any time.
