Consensus in Surgical Community for Asymptomatic Abdominal Wall and Incisional Hernias

Hernia pathology is one of the leading causes of surgery worldwide. For asymptomatic patients, surgery remains questionable. Although there are new European recommendations, the practice of digestive surgeons regarding the management of asymptomatic hernias is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the practices of a large population of digestive surgeons with asymptomatic hernia.

French-speaking digestive surgeons are invited to respond to an online survey consisting of 13 common clinical situations concerning primary or asymptomatic incisional hernia pathology where a therapeutic decision is requested.

Primary outcomes

number and type of clinical cases for which a consensus, defined by an arbitrary value of 75% of surgeons with the same therapeutic attitude

Time frame: The outcome measure is evaluated after 6 months during which the survey is online (from october 2016 to march 2017), time during which surgeons had access to answer it

The survey consists of general questions about the surgeons' activity and then 13 clinical situations where a decision is requested. The clinical cases are developed by the authors of the study in order to solve the frequent problems with the treatment of hernias and incisional hernias
