Clinical Trial 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.
