Özet

For years, centers dedicated to hernia surgery have been operating in North America and Europe. However, such centers have not been available to patients in most other countries, including Turkey. In 2006, the first Turkish center devoted to hernia surgery, the "Ankara Hernia Center", was opened. In this paper, we present general information about the center's construction, staff, practice, patient profiles, and future goals.
