1. What made you choose abdominal wall surgery?

As this specialty is one of the most underestimated areas of general surgery, there is still a lot of work to be done, and it is one of the most important areas in which we are working.

2. What are your ambitions and goals to serve the EHS Board?

First and foremost, improving patient outcomes by implementing standardization in hernia care and prevention.

3. Where do you get your motivation and inspiration in life?

My motivation and inspiration in the past and still today is based on role models in my professional and private environment.

4. What are the biggest challenges in the abdominal wall surgery right now?

1. to raise the level of standardization and achieve widespread implementation. 2. to establish prevention in all surgical disciplines. 3. to produce guidelines that should also be a practical guide for the reader.

5. What is your hidden talent?

For all those who know me, this question is already well known and related to my hobbies (sport and music).
