Hyderabad, April 10, 2025 – Arete Hospitals successfully concluded the highly anticipated Arete Hernia League, an advanced surgical masterclass focused on state-of-the-art hernia repair techniques.

“The Arete Hernia League stands out for its emphasis on technique, teamwork, and teaching,” said Dr. Satish Reddy Yeddula, Senior Consultant, General Surgery and Surgical Gastroenterology. “It offered an excellent platform to mentor emerging surgeons while also refining our own approaches.”

“Being part of this initiative was incredibly rewarding,” added Dr. Sharvani Duba, Consultant, General Surgery, Laser, Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery. “We need more collaborative platforms like this, where real-time decisions and surgical styles can be learned and shared.”
