Abstract

In recent 20 years, hernia and abdominal wall surgery has made great progress in China. However, what we've done still leaves much to be desired. Related guidelines of hernia disease had been conducted, but China is short of multi-center, prospective, and large-sample research evidence. These guidelines are still with low evidence level, and contents need additional modified to well meet Chinese real situation. In terms of treatment of inguinal and abdominal wall incisional hernia, some consensus has been reached from certain key issues globally, but further exploration are still needed. To stand at top of the world, we are a long distance. We should not only strengthen training and quality control but also establish patient registration system and overall management process.

近20年来,我国疝与腹壁外科虽然取得了长足进步,但还存在一定的不足。尽管制定了相关的疝病指南,但由于缺乏我国自己的多中心、前瞻性和大样本的研究数据,指南的证据级别不高。就腹股沟疝和腹壁切口疝的治疗,国内外对于一些关键问题已经达成共识,但仍有一些领域有待进一步探讨。我们应该从加强疝病治疗的技术培训和质量控制、建立疝病患者登记注册制度和优化疝病患者的全程管理入手,努力使我国疝和腹壁外科达到国际先进水平。
