EHS Guidelines and Related Articles

The European Hernia Society (EHS) has developed, either alone or in collaboration with international partner societies, guidelines on the prevention and/or treatment of different types of hernias. In addition, the EHS has endorsed guidelines developed by other expert groups. The aim of these guidelines is to support the use of evidence-based approaches to the treatment of hernias. In cases where evidence is not available, the guidelines are based on expert consensus. The guidelines are updated regularly. In addition, other authors have written articles that are not strictly guidelines, but are related to them, such as protocols, workflows, or methodological issues related to the guidelines.

JAWS, the official journal of the EHS, is pleased to publish these guidelines and related articles and encourages any author interested in abdominal wall surgery to submit to our journal manuscripts related to this topic.

Below is the complete list of guidelines and related articles published in JAWS.
