Beard JH, et al. - Through a prospective cohort study of 242 men with primary reducible inguinal hernia performed from February 15, 2017, to September 17, 2018, the experts contrasted the outcomes post-inguinal hernia repair with mesh conducted by medical doctors and surgeons in Ghana. One hundred and nineteen men and 123 men underwent operations performed by medical doctors and surgeons, respectively. For medical doctors and surgeons, no statistically marked differences could be ascertained in postoperative complications, patient satisfaction, severe chronic pain, or self-assessed health. Hence, it was concluded that medical doctors could be qualified to conduct an elective inguinal hernia repair with mesh in men with good results and high patient satisfaction in a low-resource environment. In order to battle the global burden of hernia disease, surgical task sharing could be considered.
