Our 100th article – a note from author Ralph Lorenz
The article ‘Acceptance of Open Preperitoneal Repair in Inguinal Hernia Surgery: Delphi Consensus after an Anonymous International Survey among European Hernia Society (EHS) Members’ was initiated by a European group of surgeons.
We live in an era with numerous and diverse treatment options for inguinal hernias, implying that an ideal approach has yet to be identified. The tailored approach is widely accepted due to the heterogeneity of patient characteristics; however, no consensus exists on which surgical technique is best suited for specific clinical scenarios. Collaboration with EHS members is essential to gain deeper insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with providing the highest quality of care for our patients.
