ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Incisional hernia (IH) is common after open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Recent studies reported incidence rates higher than previously stated. The aim of this study was to quantify the IH incidence after open AAA surgery. The secondary outcome was to identify the risk factors associated with the development of an IH.METHODS:
Retrospective observational study of all consecutive patients who underwent an open repair of AAA, from January 2010 to June 2018, at our institution. Patients were free of abdominal wall hernias at the moment of inclusion in the study. Data were extracted from electronic records baseline characteristics, surgical factors, and postoperative events. Computed tomography (CT) scans performed during follow-up were analyzed.RESULTS:
A total of 157 patients were analysed. The IH incidence after open repair of AAA was 46.5% (73 patients). The median time for IH development was 24.43 months (IQR 10.40-45.27), while the median follow-up time was 37.20 months (IQR 20.53-64.12). The risk factors linked to IH were active (HR 4.535; 95% CI 1.369-15.022) or previous smoking habit (HR 4.652; 95% CI 1.430-15.131), chronic kidney disease (HR 2.007; 95% CI 1.162-3.467) and previous abdominal surgery (HR 1.653; 95% CI 1.014-2.695).CONCLUSION:
The incisional hernia after open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair affected a high proportion of the intervened patients. Previous abdominal surgery, chronic kidney disease, and smoking habit were independent factors for the development of an incisional hernia.Palavras-chave
