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.
Background Hernia recurrence rates after incisional hernia repair vary between 8.7 and 32%, depending on multiple factors such as patient characteristics, the use of meshes, surgical technique and the degree of experience of the treating surgeon. Recurrent hernias are considered complex wall hernias, and 20% of all incisional hernia repairs involve a recurrent hernia. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes after recurrent incisional hernia repair, in association with surgical technique and body-mass index (BMI). Methods All patients who had incisional hernia repair between 2013 and 2018 were included. Primary outcome was rate of recurrent incisional hernia after initial hernia repair. Secondary outcomes were complication rate and recurrence rate in association with BMI. Results A number of 269 patients were included, of which 75 patients (27.9%) with a recurrent incisional hernia. Recurrent hernia repair was performed in 49 patients, 83.7% underwent open repair. Complication rate for recurrent hernia repair was higher than for the initial incisional hernia repair. Of the 49 patients with recurrent hernia repair, patients with a BMI above 30 had higher complication and recurrence rates compared to patients with BMI below 30. Especially infectious complications were more common in patients with a higher BMI: 23.1% vs. 0% wound infections. Conclusion The results from this study show that complication and recurrence rates are increased after recurrent incisional hernia repair, which are further increased by obesity. Only a limited amount of literature is available on this topic, further larger multicenter studies are necessary, until then a patient-specific surgical approach based on the surgeon's expertise is recommended.
