- Abstract
Hernia repair is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide, yet more than half of hernias may be untreated in African countries that lack adequate and affordable surgical care. Although this disease burden can be effectively reduced by surgical repair, public health efforts to promote repair have been sparse because of the presumed high cost of surgery.
