No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study attempts to quantify the relative risks for recurrence depending on complex combinations of plausible risk factors, in particular mesh, mesh fixation, hernia size and hernia type.

For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Swedish Hernia Registry (SHR).

Conditions

  • Hernia, Inguinal
  • Surgical Mesh
  • Laparoscopy
  • Hernia
  • Hernia, Femoral
  • Surgical Procedures, Minimally Invasive
  • Surgical Staplers
  • Recurrence
  • Fixation Device; Complications

Interventions

PROCEDURE

TEP

By laparoscopic (keyhole) approach, the hernia is repaired with a plastic mesh which the surgeon may or may not anchor with some sort of fixation device
