Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Late Mesh Complications After 3258 Incisional Hernia Operations

Brief Summary: 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.

Detailed Summary: 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.
