Prospective nationwide analysis of long-term recurrence rates after elective ventral, incisional and parastomal hernia repairs
➡️https://t.co/Gg9OVB6zBo
The risk of operation for recurrence after a primary ventral or incisional hernia repair is continuously rising, even after 15 years of follow-up. The cumulative incidence of operation for recurrence was lowest after umbilical hernia repair followed by incisional and port-site hernias. Parastomal hernia repairs had 2–4 times higher long-term risk compared with all other types of ventral hernias. This equates to almost every second patient undergoing a parastomal hernia repair undergoing a further operation for recurrence.
These nationwide data suggest that longer term follow-up for patients is important as recurrence rates keep on rising. Notably, only patients operated for recurrence were included in the present study and the true recurrence rate is likely to be much higher.

Nowadays there are only to options in the database: elective or emergency surgery. We want to change the emergency option to reduction of the hernia and surgery within 14 days or within 24 hours, or the non-reducible hernia with emergency surgery with and without bowel resection
