To date, the scientific definition hernia center does not exist and this term is being used by hospitals and private institutions as a marketing instrument. Hernia surgery has become increasingly more complex over the past 25 years. Differentiated use of the various techniques in hernia surgery has been adopted as a tailored approach program and requires intensive engagement with, and extensive experience of, the entire field of hernia surgery.
