Abdominal Hernia Registry at Méderi

Project Details

Description

Inguinal hernia is the most common abdominal wall defect, accounting for 75% of cases, with surgical treatment as the standard approach. Globally, over 20 million patients undergo inguinal hernia repair annually. The incidence of incisional hernia (eventration) ranges from 10% to 20% of all laparotomies, and it is estimated that a quarter of the global population experiences eventration during their lifetime. Due to the increasing complexity of hernia surgery, there is a need to develop specialised centres for the management of hernia-related conditions.
Since 2013, Méderi has had a team of general surgeons dedicated to performing complex hernia surgeries, such as eventrations larger than 10 cm in diameter, eventrations with loss of domain, giant inguinoscrotal hernias, recurrent inguinal hernias, as well as implementing surgical and non-surgical techniques to address all hernia-related conditions. These techniques include laparoscopic procedures, component separation, botulinum toxin application, and preoperative pneumoperitoneum.

Objective

To implement an institutional registry of hernia-related conditions at Red Hospitalaria Méderi.

Key findings

The implementation of the RHEM registry will allow for a detailed characterisation of patients treated for hernia-related conditions at Red Hospitalaria Méderi, providing critical information on the demographic, clinical, and surgical characteristics of this population. It will also facilitate the monitoring of procedure outcomes, identifying success indicators and complications, and enabling the evaluation of the effectiveness of both surgical and non-surgical techniques, such as component separation, botulinum toxin application, and preoperative pneumoperitoneum.
