Overview
The European Hernia Society is a non-profit making international scientific forum that focuses on ABDOMINAL WALL SURGERY. It was founded by a group of French Surgeons on June 15th, 1979 and was labeled as GREPA (Groupe de Recherche et d’Etudes de la Paroi Abdominale), but in order to adopt a more inclusive and European approach, the name was subsequently changed in 1998 to the European Hernia Society. Today the EHS consists of 27 national chapters with more than 2000 members. The EHS devotes itself to improving patient care by the study of both scientific and clinical related matters in the field of hernia. To this end, it holds an ‘Annual Congress’ which facilitates presentations and discussions in new scientific research within hernia surgery. As a society, the EHS has developed classifications and guidelines to help define surgical standards and clinical diagnosis, and also coordinates clinical trials. Hernia Journal is affiliated with the EHS, and BJS and BJSopen Journals are the strategic partners of the Society.
