Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Study of Practices of Surgeons on Surgical Management of Asymptomatic Hernias; Comparison With International Recommendations

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

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

  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

  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

Study Arms (1)

french-speaking digestive surgeons

french-speaking digestive surgeons are visceral and digestive surgeons that have a general surgical activity too. They can have or not an expertise on hernia pathology. They are questioned by survey on decisions about different patient asymptomatic hernia clinical situations.

Other: Observation study

Interventions

Observation study OTHER

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.
