Dear member of Asia-Pacific Hernia Society (APHS)
We kindly ask you to fill out a brief questionnaire (follow the link below) regarding laparoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia repair. All members of the APHS have received this email.
The questionnaire is simple and will take you no more than 3-4 minutes to fill out. Your answers will be anonymous. The questionnaire relates only to inguinal hernia repair (medial and lateral) and not to femoral or obturator hernia repair.
The main issue addressed in the questionnaire relates to the following clinical scenario:
You see a patient in your office preoperatively. At clinical examination you find a unilateral symptomatic inguinal hernia. The patient does not have symptoms on the contralateral side and no ‘bulge’ or hernia is demonstrable during examination (ultrasound not performed or ultrasound negative). Intra-operative findings may or may not, however, reveal a contralateral hernia. What do you do?
The results will be presented in a peer-reviewed international journal and at a future congress.
Kind regards
Niels Johansen (Denmark), Marc Miserez (Belgium), Andrew de Beaux (UK), Agneta Montgomery (Sweden), Jose Macario Faylona (Philippines), Thue Bisgaard (Denmark)
