Risk Factors for Morbidity After Parastomal Hernia Repair

Nationwide Prospective Study of Surgical Risk Factors for Poor Outcome After Parastomal Hernia Repair

The Danish Ventral Hernia Database (DVHD) registers 37 different perioperative parameters. The aim of present study is to use large-scale data from DVHD to uncover risk factors for readmission, reoperation (any indication), death and reoperation for recurrence after parastomal hernia repair.

All principal parastomal hernias registered in the Danish Ventral Hernia Database are included in the study. The included patients will be followed in up to 4 years in order to identify correlation between technical aspects of the hernia repair and postoperative morbidity.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All parastomal hernia repairs registered in the Danish National Ventral Hernia Database
