Co-developing research for inguinal hernia repair in Ghana
Community engagement in Ghana
Keywords:
Global surgery, inguinal herniaAbstract
The first meeting was at Gurugu, Sagnarigu Municipality, Ghana on 15th November, 2022 with stakeholders that included patients who had hernia repair within the previous 30 days: 10 patients, one patient’s partner, two surgeons, a translator and the Hub Community Engagement and Involvement (CEI) lead. They found the questions appropriate and wanted them expanded to address when they could resume sexual activity, return to farming, eating staple foods,and how to manage scrotal swelling. There was a consensus that a picture on a poster with adequate exposure, from navel to mid-thigh, could be interpreted by both literate and illiterate persons. They proposed that the phallus should be covered.
