17 A commonsense approach is advocated. If the patient can safely have general anesthesia and the chance of successful repair is reasonable, then surgery is indicated. If the patient presents a high anesthetic risk or surgical repair will be technically difficult, then the size of the fascial defect relative to the hernia, the symptom complex, the patient s age, and the patient s preferences must be carefully considered. In such cases, conservative management may be more appropriate. This decision making process is patient specific and therefore we recommend that all patients are referred for a specialist opinion. -David Sanders and Andrew Kingsnorth 17
