@bait_alex @eurohernias The patient must not be allowed to feel alone in this treatment option. Regular monitoring of hernia, advice on living with hernia, support from family and fellow patients is important.

@eurohernias At first glance #HerniaGPT reassures the patient about non operative management. From a surgeons side, this looks sufficient. But how does it look from the patient side?
