Late Mesh Complications After 3258 Incisional Hernia Operations

Late Mesh Complications After 3258 Incisional Hernia Operations

The Danish Hernia Database (DHD) registers 37 different perioperative parameters. The aim of present study is to use large-scale data from DHD to uncover risk factors for long-term (30 days postoperative and later) readmission, reoperation, death and reoperation for recurrence after incisional hernia repair with use of a synthetic mesh.

All principal incisional hernias registered in the Danish Hernia Database are included in the study. The included patients have been followed for more than 4 years in order to identify correlation between technical aspects of the hernia repair and postoperative morbidity.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Incisional Hernia Repair
