“Inguinal Hernia Surgery; Perspecti ves Beyond Lichtenstein” is the thesis Baukje van den Heuvel wrote during her surgical residency. The clinical challenges of a hernia surgeon in daily practi ce inspired Baukje van den Heuvel, Boudewijn Dwars and co-authors to set up a research program and look for answers. The results are presented in this book and off er practi cal tools, useful for everybody involved in inguinal hernia surgery.Baukje believes that science should serve all. It should serve pati ents to be treated bett er and surgeons to be able to treat bett er. Therefore, Baukje aimed to present her thesis such that it could be appreciated by surgeons as well as pati ents. As modern art is one of Baukje’s other interests, it was a logical step to connect the contemporaries Irving Lichtenstein and Roy Lichtenstein; the surgeon and the arti st. Simple and colorful comics are used to capture the essence of this thesis and to explain science.
