Abstracts of the 2025 Brazilian Hernia Congress

It is with great pleasure that we present this special edition of JAWS, dedicated to the 2025 Brazilian Hernia Congress, held in Campinas, São Paulo.

This issue reflects the enthusiasm and scientific strength that defined the 2025 meeting — the largest hernia event ever held in Brazil. The congress brought together national and international experts, fostering high-level scientific exchange, innovation, and collaboration in abdominal wall surgery.

In this edition, we are proud not only to highlight key moments and contributions from the congress, but also to jointly publish a dedicated article that chronicles the historical construction and evolution of the Brazilian Hernia Society. This retrospective offers valuable insight into the journey that shaped our community and continues to guide its future.

We hope this issue captures the spirit of excellence, growth, and unity that characterized the 2025 Congress and inspires continued advancement in hernia surgery.
