ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding the experiences and outcomes of patients who have undergone hernia surgery at Shouldice Hospital. Researchers want to gather information on how patients feel after their surgery, any complications they may face, and how satisfied they are with the care they received. By collecting this data through surveys sent at different time points after surgery, the study aims to improve patient care and knowledge in the future.

To participate, you need to be between 16 and 90 years old and have had hernia surgery at Shouldice Hospital. If you have an email address, you can easily take part in the study, which will last around 5 to 6 years. You’ll receive surveys via email at various times after your surgery, and you can choose how involved you want to be. While there are no direct benefits for you, your input will help enhance the overall care for future patients. Your personal health information will be kept private and secure throughout the process.
