Recurrence and chronic pain comparing mesh versus suture repair for smaller umbilical hernias in adults: the randomised clinical SUMMER trial Open
Introduction Umbilical hernia repair is among the most common surgical procedures worldwide and yet evidence is limited on whether to use mesh or suture repair for smaller umbilical hernias. This study presents the 1-year outcomes from a r…

Onlay mesh <i>versus</i> suture repair for smaller umbilical hernias in adults—early results from SUMMER trial: randomized clinical trial Open
Background Mesh repair is recommended for umbilical hernias larger than 1 cm to reduce recurrence rates, yet current evidence remains limited for smaller umbilical hernias. Important questions concern optimal mesh positioning and wound com…

72316 - Trends and Prevalence of Umbilical Hernia Repairs in Sweden; A Nationwide Population-based Register-study Open
Introduction Umbilical hernia repairs (UHRs) are widely performed worldwide, yet knowledge about their repairs remains underexplored. Guidelines suggest that UHR larger than 1 cm should preferably be repaired using mesh. The aim was to ass…

SURGICAL UNIT VOLUME AND REOPERATION FOR RECURRENCE FOLLOWING TOTALLY EXTRA-PERITONEAL GROIN HERNIA REPAIRS Open
Background Quality of totally extra-peritoneal groin hernia repair (TEP-GHR) and recurrence are related to several factors and possibly to the annual volume of repairs carried out by surgical units. The nature of this relationship is still…

P121 ONLAY MESH FOR TREATMENT OF SMALL UMBILICAL HERNIAS IN ADULTS - A SINGE CENTER INVESTIGATION Open
Aim Previous studies on the repair of small umbilical hernias have suggested a lower recurrence rate with mesh compared to suture repair. A remaining important question is in what anatomical position the mesh should be placed. The purpose …
