What is the HiPPO Study?
HiPPO is an international, multi-centre, prospective observational cohort study investigating the management of patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. The aims are to characterise the global backlog for elective surgery, understand the technique, training and operative variation in hernia repair, and finally to explore environmentally sustainable practices in operating theatres. The study is being delivered by the NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Global Surgery, and will be facilitated in Australia by TASMAN and Aotearoa New Zealand by STRATA.
Through facilitating the HiPPO Study in Aotearoa New Zealand, we aim to build collaborative research capacity amongst medical students and junior doctors.
