“…The Herniamed Registry is a multicenter, internet-based hernia registry (20) into which 427 participating hospitals and surgeons engaged in private practice (Herniamed Study Group) have entered data prospectively on their patients who had undergone hernia surgery. All postoperative complications occurring up to 30 days after surgery are recorded.…”

with regard to the intraoperative complications, complication-related reoperations, re-recurrences, pain at rest, pain on exertion, or chronic pain requiring treatment. The only difference identified was a significantly higher postoperative seroma rate after TAPP, which was influenced by the surgical technique, previous open primary operation and EHS-classification medial and responded to conservative treatment. Conclusion TEP and TAPP are equivalent surgical techniques for recurrent inguinal hernia repair following previous open primary operation. The choice of technique should be tailored to the surgeon's expertise.

“…Registers may be an important source of information for health care. In our particular field of research, a population-based register like the Danish Ventral Hernia Database or large surgical datasets of variables and outcomes like the Herniamed database and from the Würzburg University provides us with very interesting data [4,29,30]. However, the statements resulting from the analysis of register data, even by sound scientific multivariate statistical analysis, can be limited by various sources of bias.…”

“…For large registries like the Danish Hernia Database, the Swedish Hernia Registry and the Herniamed database a clinical follow-up of all patients is not practical and achievable [29,30]. In the population-based Danish Ventral Hernia Database the reoperation rate for recurrence is the primary outcome measurement as a ''surrogate for recurrence''.…”

“…Helgstrand et al [31] demonstrated using a questionnaire and subsequent selective request for clinical follow-up that the reoperation rate underestimated the overall risk for recurrence by four-to fivefold. In the Herniamed registry patients are followed up using a questionnaire send to the patient at 1, 5 and 10 years [29]. Patients reporting a problem are invited for an examination by a physician.…”

Background The literature dealing with abdominal wall surgery is often flawed due to lack of adherence to accepted reporting standards and statistical methodology. Materials and methods The EuraHS Working Group (European Registry of Abdominal Wall Hernias) organised a consensus meeting of surgical experts and researchers with an interest in abdominal wall surgery, including a statistician, the editors of the journal Hernia and scientists experienced in meta-analysis. Detailed discussions took place to identify the basic ground rules necessary to improve the quality of research reports related to abdominal wall reconstruction. Hernia (2013) 17:423-433 DOI 10.1007/s10029-013-1108 Results A list of recommendations was formulated including more general issues on the scientific methodology and statistical approach. Standards and statements are available, each depending on the type of study that is being reported: the CONSORT statement for the Randomised Controlled Trials, the TREND statement for non randomised interventional studies, the STROBE statement for observational studies, the STARLITE statement for literature searches, the MOOSE statement for metaanalyses of observational studies and the PRISMA statement for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. A number of recommendations were made, including the use of previously published standard definitions and classifications relating to hernia variables and treatment; the use of the validated Clavien-Dindo classification to report complications in hernia surgery; the use of ''time-to-event analysis'' to report data on ''freedom-of-recurrence'' rather than the use of recurrence rates, because it is more sensitive and accounts for the patients that are lost to follow-up compared with other reporting methods. Conclusion A set of recommendations for reporting outcome results of abdominal wall surgery was formulated as guidance for researchers. It is anticipated that the use of these recommendations will increase the quality and meaning of abdominal wall surgery research.
