Management of Acutely Symptomatic Hernia
Sponsor: Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Summary
Acutely symptomatic abdominal wall hernia can cause many symptoms and complications. They can be associated with levels of morbidity beyond that seen in emergency laparotomy. There is limited data to guide practice in this field. This observational cohort study will explore variation in practice around assessment, repair and outcomes of hernias treated in the emergency setting.
