Is simultaneous bariatric surgery and ventral hernia repair a safe and effective approach?

Background: There is currently a lack of consensus regarding the timing of ventral hernia repair relative to bariatric surgery.

Objectives: To compare outcomes between patients undergoing simultaneous and selectively deferred ventral hernia repair and bariatric surgery.

Setting: High volume UPPER gastrointestinal and Bariatric Unit.

Measurement that matters: A systematic review and modified Delphi of multidisciplinary colorectal cancer quality indicators.

Aim: To develop a priority set of quality indicators (QIs) for use by colorectal cancer (CRC) multidisciplinary teams (MDTs).

Methods: The review search strategy was executed in four databases from 2009-August 2019. Two reviewers screened abstracts/manuscripts.
