Background/Aim: Currently, there is no classification system specializing in recurrent
inguinal hernia (RIH) after open-surgery. For this reason, in this study we proposed one so …

Results: We identified 109,106 adults undergoing primary IHR with 5.6 year median follow-
up. The 5-year cumulative risk of recurrent IHR was 1.7% in the open with mesh group, 3.2 …

Introduction As patients with recurrent inguinal hernia (RIH) are at a higher risk of
perioperative complications, international guidelines have been developed to mitigate these …

Introduction The proportion of recurrent repairs in the total collective of inguinal hernia
repairs among men is 11.3–14.3% and among women 7.0–7.4%. The rate of re-recurrences …

Purpose This study aims to characterize the patterns of recurrence associated with specific
types of primary inguinal hernia repair techniques used for and their respective correlations …

Introduction It is known that recurrences continue to occur after the follow-up period of 1–5
years usually used in most hernia studies. By reviewing the data in the Herniamed Hernia …

Background Re-operative hernia surgery has become more technically challenging due to
the use of mesh. In addition, there has been a paucity of clinical studies. A common …

Purpose We conducted a multi-institutional analysis to establish the epidemiological
characteristics of recurrent inguinal hernia following hernia repair in patients across 4 …

Purpose The objective of this study was to assess data on inguinal hernia repairs (IHR)
performed for recurrence over a 16 year period (2004—2019) in Spain. Methods A …

Despite all the progress made in inguinal hernia surgery driven by the development of
meshes and laparoendoscopic operative techniques, the proportion of recurrent inguinal …
