The survey was distributed through hernia societies and social media platforms. It included 31 questions addressing surgeon demographics and their beliefs on various mesh placements.

Inlay was the least familiar mesh technique (26%). For hernia defects\u2009&lt;\u20091\u00a0cm, preperitoneal (28%) and suture-only repair (27%) were considered to yield the best overall outcomes. For defects\u2009\u2265\u20091 to \u2264\u20094\u00a0cm, preperitoneal and retromuscular techniques were equally favored (34%), whereas retromuscular was regarded as the best option for larger defects (&gt;\u20094 to 9\u00a0cm; 68%). Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches were increasingly preferred for larger defect sizes. Hernia defect size (93%), surgical history (90%), and obesity (80%) were the most common factors influencing the choice of mesh placement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Preperitoneal and suture-only repairs were most commonly selected for hernia defects\u2009&lt;\u20091\u00a0cm, while preperitoneal and retromuscular placements were equally favored for defects\u2009\u2265\u20091 to \u2264\u20094\u00a0cm. For defects\u2009&gt;\u20094 to 9\u00a0cm, retromuscular placement was selected by most surgeons. As defect width increased, laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches gained preference. Key factors influencing decisions included hernia defect size, surgical history, and obesity.
