Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Context:

  • Inguinal hernia operations are the most frequent surgical procedures in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH region), with 300,000 performed annually.
  • There is significant political and legislative pressure to shift from inpatient to outpatient treatment to reduce healthcare costs.
  • Outpatient inguinal hernia surgery has not been widely adopted in the DACH region despite these pressures.

Purpose:

  • To address the underutilization of outpatient inguinal hernia surgery in the DACH region.
  • To describe the current status and challenges of outpatient hernia repair.
  • To provide an assessment of the situation by the leading surgical societies.

Summary:

  • Inguinal hernia repair is the most common surgery in the DACH region, yet outpatient procedures are underutilized.
  • Leading surgical societies (DHG, CAH, ÖHG, SAHC) are examining the reasons for this limited adoption.
  • The current situation and initial position regarding outpatient hernia surgery are being assessed.

Impact:

  • Highlights a gap between legislative goals and clinical practice in hernia repair.
  • Provides a foundational assessment for future strategies to increase outpatient hernia surgery.
  • Aims to inform policy and practice to optimize surgical care delivery and reduce costs.
