Emergencies Clinical Trial
Official title:
Management of Acutely Symptomatic Hernia: An Observational Study
Acutely symptomatic abdominal wall hernia can cause many symptoms and complications. They can be associated with levels of morbidity beyond that seen in emergency laparotomy. There is limited data to guide practice in this field. This observational cohort study will explore variation in practice around assessment, repair and outcomes of hernias treated in the emergency setting.
There are many different types of hernia, with the most common being in the groin or at the umbilicus. Hernias affect a significant proportion of the population and can vary from producing no symptoms at all, to causing a blockage to the bowel that requires urgent surgery. Hernias affect people of all ages and degrees of health, but become increasingly common with age. As our population ages and therefore becomes generally more unwell, the risks of surgery increase. Recent evidence suggests that emergency hernia repair is associated with worse outcomes than planned procedures. At present there are limited guidelines for the management of acutely symptomatic hernias and therefore practice varies between hospitals. This cohort study will capture information on patients treated in the UK for acutely symptomatic hernia, and will provide information on variation in assessment, and technical aspects of repair. It will also capture health utility data out to 90 days post discharge from hospital. ;
