At the last Suvretta meeting in 2006 on recurrent hernia prevention and treatment, the authors demonstrated that with the wide range of available techniques, materials, and meshes at our disposal today, an experienced hernia surgeon will be able to prevent or at least treat a recurrent hernia.
But whereas recurrences can be treated successfully in most cases, some other hernia repair sequelae can result in severe, sometimes untreatable problems, e.g. pain, infection, adhesion, or infertility. That was the reason to focus the 5th Suvretta meeting in 2008 on hernia repair sequelae. The authors are convinced that such sequelae can be a more serious problem for the patient than the mostly treatable recurrent hernia. Therefore, it was appropriate to focus the 5th Suvretta meeting on these longterm problems.
During a four-day meeting, the authors discussed all technical aspects of the various operations and materials to generate a consensus concerning the best techniques and meshes. They explored methods to improve surgical techniques to look into the multifactorial causes of post hernia repair sequelae. In the seclusion of the Swiss plateau valley they had a perfect setting todiscuss these important hernia repair problems in detail with the top hernia specialists in the world.
With this book, the results of this exceptional 5th Suvretta meeting have been made accessible for every surgeon who is interested in hernia surgery and its sequelae.
