Incisional hernia following colorectal cancer surgery according to suture technique: Hughes Abdominal Repair Randomized Trial (HART)

J. Torkington et al.

Summary: The incidence of incisional hernia after colorectal cancer surgery is high. There was no statistical difference in incidence between Hughes closure and mass closure at 1 or 2 years. Adverse events were similar in the two groups, apart from a higher rate of surgical-site infection in the Hughes group.

Recurrent incisional hernia repair: surgical outcomes in correlation with body-mass index

L. van Silfhout et al.

Summary: This study included 269 patients who underwent incisional hernia repair, with results showing increased complication and recurrence rates after recurrent hernia repair, especially associated with obesity. Therefore, a patient-specific surgical approach based on the expertise of the surgeon is recommended until further larger multicenter studies are conducted.

Incidence and risk factors for incisional hernia and recurrence: Retrospective analysis of the French national database

Benoit Gignoux et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the rate of incisional hernia (IH) repair and risk factors after laparotomy. Results showed that the IH repair rate was 5% overall, increasing to 17% after digestive surgery. Obesity was identified as the main risk factor, with an IH repair rate of 31% after digestive surgery.
