Clinical Trial Summary

n the Sint Jansdal Hospital in Harderwijk, the Netherlands, the TREPP technique is the standard operating procedure for patients with inguinal hernia. Starting from 2006, this procedure has also been used on patients that presented with an acute strangulated inguinal hernia in the emergency department, instead of the more common Lichtenstein technique. The goal of this retrospective case series is to assess the feasibility of the TREPP technique in case of an acute strangulated inguinal hernia. Patient records from 2006 until 2016 will be used to search for patients treated for acute inguinal hernia in that period. After applying the in- and exclusion criteria, patients who are eligible for inclusion will be contacted by telephone. They will be asked if they are willing to visit the surgical outpatient department once and fill out two questionnaires. The data of these questionnaires will be analyzed and published.
