RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To examine the short-term outcomes after laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) compared with robot-assisted retromuscular repair of small to medium-sized ventral hernia. BACKGROUND: With the introduction of a robot-assisted approach, retromuscular mesh placement is technically more feasible compared with laparoscopic IPOM, with potential gains for the patient, including avoidance of painful mesh fixation and intraperitoneal mesh placement. METHODS: This was a nationwide cohort study of patients undergoing either laparoscopic IPOM or robot-assisted retromuscular repair of a ventral hernia with a horizontal fascial defect <7 cm in the period 2017 to 2022, matched in a 1:2 ratio using propensity scores. Outcomes included postoperative hospital length of stay, 90-day readmission, and 90-day operative reintervention, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to adjust for the relevant confounder. RESULTS: A total of 1136 patients were included for analysis. The rate of IPOM-repaired patients hospitalized > 2 days was more than 3 times higher than after robotic retromuscular repair (17.3% vs. 4.5%, P < 0.001). The incidence of readmission within 90 days postoperatively was significantly higher after laparoscopic IPOM repair (11.6% vs. 6.7%, P =0.011). There was no difference in the incidence of patients undergoing operative intervention within the first 90 days postoperatively (laparoscopic IPOM 1.9% vs. robot-assisted retromuscular 1.3%, P =0.624). CONCLUSIONS: For patients undergoing first-time repair of a ventral hernia, robot-assisted retromuscular repair was associated with a significantly reduced incidence of prolonged length of postoperative hospital stay and risk of 90-day readmission compared to laparoscopic IPOM.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: L-RYGB and L-SG are the dominant bariatric procedures worldwide. While L-RYGB is an effective treatment of coexisting gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), L-SG is associated with an increased risk of de-novo or worsening of GERD. The study aimed to evaluate the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (L-RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (L-SG). SUBJECTS/METHODS: This nationwide register-based study included all patients undergoing L-RYGB or L-SG in Denmark between 2008 and 2018. In total, 17,740 patients were included in the study, with 16,096 and 1671 undergoing L-RYGB and L-SG, respectively. The median follow up was 11 years after L-RYGB and 4 years after L-SG. Data were collected through Danish nationwide health registries. The development in PPI use was assessed through postoperative redeemed prescriptions. GERD development was defined by a relevant diagnosis code associated with gastroscopy, 24 h pH measurement, revisional surgery or anti-reflux surgery. The risk of initiation of PPI treatment or GERD diagnosis was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier plots and COX regression models. The risk of continuous PPI treatment was examined using logistic regression modeling. RESULTS: The risk of initiating PPI treatment was significantly higher after L-SG compared with L-RYGB (HR 7.06, 95% CI 6.42-7.77, p < 0.0001). The risk of continuous PPI treatment was likewise significantly higher after L-SG (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.36-1.54, p < 0.0001). The utilization of PPI consistently increased after both procedures. The risk of GERD diagnosis was also significantly higher after L-SG compared with L-RYGB (HR 1.93, 95% CI 1.27-2.93, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: The risk of initiating and continuing PPI treatment was significantly higher after L-SG compared with L-RYGB, and a continuous increase in the utilization of PPI was observed after both procedures.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Spigelian hernia is a rare hernia of the abdominal wall. Due to lack of evidence, there is no standard recommendation for surgical technique of Spigelian hernia repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes after open and laparoscopic, elective and emergency repair of Spigelian hernias on a nationwide basis. METHODS: Nationwide data from the Danish Ventral Hernia Database and the National Patient Registry was assessed to analyze outcomes after Spigelian hernia repair. A total of 365 patients were operated for Spigelian hernia in Denmark from 2007 to 2018. Ninety-day readmission, 90-day reoperation and long-term operation for recurrence were evaluated, as well as possible differences between open and laparoscopic, and elective and emergency repairs. RESULTS: Most of the patients (80.5%, 294/365) were operated by laparoscopic approach and 19.5% (71/365) were operated by open approach. Elective surgery was performed in 83.6% (305/365) of the patients and 16.4% (60/365) underwent emergency repair. There were no significant differences in 90-day readmission or reoperation rates between open or laparoscopic Spigelian hernia repairs, P = 0.778 and P = 0.531. Ninety-day readmission and 90-day reoperation rates were also comparable for elective versus emergency repair, P = 0.399 and P = 0.766. No difference was found in operation for recurrence rates between elective and emergency, nor open and laparoscopic Spigelian hernia repairs. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that 16% of Spigelian hernia repairs are done in the emergency setting. Open and laparoscopic approach are comparable in terms of early readmission, reoperation, and recurrence rates.

INTRODUCTION: Umbilical hernia is a frequent condition in patients with cirrhosis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the risks associated with umbilical hernia repair in patients with cirrhosis in the elective and emergency setting. Secondly, to compare patients with cirrhosis with a population of patients with equally severe comorbidities but without cirrhosis. METHODS: Patients with cirrhosis who underwent umbilical hernia repair from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2018, were included from the Danish Hernia Database. A control group of patients with a similar Charlson score (≥ 3) without cirrhosis was generated using propensity score matching. The primary outcome was postoperative re-intervention within 30 days following hernia repair. Secondary outcomes were mortality within 90 days and readmission within 30 days following hernia repair. RESULTS: A total of 252 patients with cirrhosis and 504 controls were included. Emergency repair in patients with cirrhosis was associated with a significantly increased rate of re-intervention (54/108 (50%) vs. 24/144 (16.7%), P < 0.001), 30-day readmission rate (50/108 (46.3%) compared with elective repair vs. 36/144 (25%) (P < 0.0001)), and 90-day mortality (18/108 (16.7%) vs. 5/144 (3.5%), P < 0.001). Patients with cirrhosis were more likely to undergo a postoperative re-intervention compared with comorbid patients without cirrhosis (OR = 2.10; 95% CI [1.45-3.03]). CONCLUSION: Patients with cirrhosis and other severe comorbidity undergo emergency umbilical hernia repair frequently. Emergency repair is associated with increased risk of poor outcome. Patients with cirrhosis undergo a postoperative reintervention more frequently than patients with other severe comorbidity undergoing umbilical hernia repair.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In 2010, it was decided to centralize parastomal hernia repairs to five specialized hernia centres in Denmark to improve outcomes. The aim of this nationwide cohort study was to evaluate whether centralization of parastomal hernia repairs has had an impact on outcomes. Specifically, readmission, reoperation for complication, and operation for recurrence were analysed before and after centralization. METHODS: By merging clinical and administrative outcome data from the Danish Hernia Database with those from the Danish National Patient Registry, all patients undergoing parastomal hernia repair in Denmark from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2018 were included. Centralization was defined as having at least 70 per cent of procedures were performed at one of the five national centres. Readmission, reoperation, and recurrence rates for emergency and elective repairs were evaluated before and after centralization. RESULTS: In total, 1062 patients were included. Median follow-up was 992 days. Overall, the centralization process took 7 years. For elective repairs, the readmission, reoperation, mortality, and recurrence rates were comparable before and after centralization, but more patients overall and more patients with co-morbidity were offered surgery after centralization. For emergency repairs, there was a significant reduction in rates of reoperation (from 44.9 per cent (48 of 107) to 23 per cent (14 of 62); P = 0.004) and mortality (from 10.3 per cent (11 of 107) to 2 per cent (1 of 62); P = 0.034) after centralization. CONCLUSION: Centralization led to more elective operations and better outcomes when emergency repair was needed. Centralization of parastomal hernia repair led to more patients receiving elective repair and significantly improved outcomes after emergency repair.

BACKGROUND: Mesh is recommended for umbilical hernias with defects > 1 cm to reduce recurrence. For umbilical hernias with defect width ≤ 1 cm, the literature is sparse. The aim of this nationwide cohort study was to assess outcomes after suture and mesh repair of umbilical hernias with defect width ≤ 1 cm and to evaluate outcomes after onlay mesh repair specifically. METHODS: By merging data from the Danish Hernia Database and the National Patients Registry from 2007 to 2018, patients undergoing elective open repair of an umbilical hernia with defect width ≤ 1 cm were identified. Available data included details about comorbidity, surgical technique, 90-day readmission, 90-day reoperation and operation for recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 7849 patients were included, of whom 25.7% (2013/7849) underwent mesh repair. Reoperation for recurrence was significantly decreased after mesh repair 3.1% (95% C.I. 2.1-4.1) compared with suture repair 6.7% (95% C.I. 6.0-7.4), P < 0.001. Readmission and reoperation rates were significantly higher for mesh repair 7.9% (159/2013) and 2.6% (52/2013) than for suture repair 6.5% (381/5836) and 1.5% (89/5836), P = 0.036 and P = 0.002, respectively. Onlay mesh repairs had the lowest risk of recurrence 2.0% (95% C.I. 0.6-3.5), and readmission [7.9% (65/826)] and reoperation [3.9% (32/826)] rates within 90 days were comparable to suture repairs [6.5% (381/5836)] and [3.3% (192/5836)], P = 0.149 and P = 0.382, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Even for the smallest umbilical hernias, mesh repair significantly decreased the recurrence rate. Onlay mesh repair was associated with lowest risk of recurrence without increasing early complications.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors for chronic abdominal pain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Abdominal pain is a frequent postoperative complication after RYGB surgery. Even if there have been defined several long-term complications, the literature regarding patients with unexplained chronic abdominal pain is sparse. METHODS: A single-center register-based cohort study with inclusion of all patients who underwent RYGB surgery between 2010 and 2015. Data from multiple registries, medical records, and a questionnaire were used. Patients with chronic abdominal pain were defined as those using strong analgesics, diagnosed with chronic pain, or referred to a specialized pain clinic. Patients with severe self-reported abdominal pain were defined as those reporting abdominal pain more than 2 times weekly within the last month. RESULTS: A total of 787 patients were followed for a median of 63 months. The prevalence of postoperative chronic abdominal pain was 11% and the prevalence of severe self-reported abdominal pain was 21%. Preoperative use of strong analgesics was a risk factor for chronic abdominal pain (OR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.59-3.23) and severe self-reported abdominal pain (OR 2.82, 95% CI 1.64-4.84). Further risk factors for severe self-reported pain were unemployment or retirement (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.09-2.93), postoperative complications (OR 2.75, 95% CI 1.44-5.22), and smoking (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.09-2.96). CONCLUSIONS: One in 10 patients undergoing RYGB surgery developed chronic abdominal pain requiring strong analgesics, and one in five suffered from severe abdominal pain. Risk factors were preoperative use of strong analgesics, unemployment, postoperative complications, and smoking.

BACKGROUND: Systematic reviews play a crucial role in clinical decision making and resource allocation and are expected to be unbiased and consistent. The aim of this study is a review of systematic reviews on the use of prophylactic mesh to prevent parastomal hernia (PH) formation using ROBIS and AMSTAR tools to assess the risk of bias and methodological quality. METHODS: We included systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis of which the objective was to assess the use of a prophylactic mesh to prevent PH. A systematic search of the literature in five databases from inception until December 2017 was conducted. For each systematic review, methodologic quality and risk of bias were assessed using the AMSTAR and ROBIS tools, respectively. We estimated the inter-rater reliability for individual domains and for the overall methodological quality and risk of bias using Fleiss' k. RESULTS: We identified 14 systematic reviews that met the inclusion criteria. Using the AMSTAR scale with a cutoff value, six reviews showed high methodologic quality and eight were of low quality. Using the ROBIS tool, the overall risk of bias was low in 50% of the reviews analyzed. In the remaining studies, the risk of bias was unclear. CONCLUSIONS: The global evidence in favor of the use of a prophylactic mesh for preventing PH is not uniform regarding quality and risk of bias. Surgeons cannot be equally confident in the results of all systematic reviews published on this topic.

BACKGROUND: There are various ways of fixating an intraperitoneal onlay mesh during a laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. The risk of complications is high, and around 22% of the hernias will recur within 3.5 years. The aim of this study was to assess if sutures in addition to tack fixation would reduce the re-operation rate for recurrence compared with permanent tacks without sutures. METHODS: This study was based on the data from the nationwide Danish Ventral Hernia Database, which contains information of ventral hernia repairs from all hospitals in Denmark. Two different cohorts of patients were created and analyzed separately. The primary outcome was the re-operation rate for recurrence, analyzed with the Cox regression model and illustrated with a Kaplan-Meier plot adjusted for confounders. The follow-up period was defined as months from the first hernia repair to re-operation for recurrence, death, or the 1st of June 2017. RESULTS: The first cohort included 598 patients with absorbable sutures and tacks compared with 1793 patients with permanent tacks. The second cohort included 72 patients with permanent sutures and tacks compared with 216 patients with permanent tacks. In the suture groups, the tack material was either permanent or absorbable. When adjusting for possible confounders in the Cox regression model, there were no significant differences in the re-operation rate for recurrence between the groups in the two cohorts. CONCLUSION: Adding sutures, either absorbable or permanent, to tack fixation of mesh during laparoscopic ventral hernia repair did not influence the re-operation rates for recurrence.

PURPOSE: All surgical procedures elicit a complex systemic inflammatory response effectuated and modulated by cytokines. The purpose of this systematic review was to present an overview of the inflammatory response and the serum markers associated with hernia repair and to compare the response between patients treated with and without mesh. METHODS: The review was conducted in line with PRISMA guidelines. The outcomes of interest were serum concentration of leukocytes, cytokines, and acute phase proteins before and after hernia repair with or without mesh reinforcement. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane ROBINS-I tool for non-randomized studies of intervention. RESULTS: A total of 31 studies were included in the systematic review including 1326 patients with a mean age ranging from 33 to 67 years. The studies predominantly included males (95.0% males, 5.0% female) with inguinal hernias (98.5% inguinal hernias, 1.5% incisional hernias). The inflammatory response after hernia repair was characterized by an increase in CRP, IL-6, leukocytes, neutrophils, IL-1, IL-10, fibrinogen, and α1-antitrypsin and a decrease in lymphocytes and albumin within the first 24 postoperative hours. The systemic inflammatory response was normalized before or on the seventh postoperative day. A higher CRP and IL-6 serum concentration was found in patients treated with mesh compared with sutured repairs. CONCLUSIONS: Hernia repair elicits a systemic inflammatory response characterized by an increase in CRP, IL-6, leukocytes, neutrophils, IL-1, IL-10, fibrinogen, and α1-antitrypsin and a decrease in lymphocytes and albumin. A higher inflammatory response was found after mesh repair compared with non-mesh repair and after open mesh repair compared with laparoscopic mesh repair.

Importance: Prosthetic mesh is frequently used to reinforce the repair of abdominal wall incisional hernias. The benefits of mesh for reducing the risk of hernia recurrence or the long-term risks of mesh-related complications are not known. Objective: To investigate the risks of long-term recurrence and mesh-related complications following elective abdominal wall hernia repair in a population with complete follow-up. Design, Setting, and Participants: Registry-based nationwide cohort study including all elective incisional hernia repairs in Denmark from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2010. A total of 3242 patients with incisional repair were included. Follow-up until November 1, 2014, was obtained by merging data with prospective registrations from the Danish National Patient Registry supplemented with a retrospective manual review of patient records. A 100% follow-up rate was obtained. Exposures: Hernia repair using mesh performed by either open or laparoscopic techniques vs open repair without use of mesh. Main Outcomes and Measures: Five-year risk of reoperation for recurrence and 5-year risk of all mesh-related complications requiring subsequent surgery. Results: Among the 3242 patients (mean age, 58.5 [SD, 13.5] years; 1720 women [53.1%]), 1119 underwent open mesh repair (34.5%), 366 had open nonmesh repair (11.3%), and 1757 had laparoscopic mesh repair (54.2%). The median follow-up after open mesh repair was 59 (interquartile range [IQR], 44-80) months, after nonmesh open repair was 62 (IQR, 44-79) months, and after laparoscopic mesh repair was 61 (IQR, 48-78) months. The risk of the need for repair for recurrent hernia following these initial hernia operations was lower for patients with open mesh repair (12.3% [95% CI, 10.4%-14.3%]; risk difference, -4.8% [95% CI, -9.1% to -0.5%]) and for patients with laparoscopic mesh repair (10.6% [95% CI, 9.2%-12.1%]; risk difference, -6.5% [95% CI, -10.6% to -2.4%]) compared with nonmesh repair (17.1% [95% CI, 13.2%-20.9%]). For the entirety of the follow-up duration, there was a progressively increasing number of mesh-related complications for both open and laparoscopic procedures. At 5 years of follow-up, the cumulative incidence of mesh-related complications was 5.6% (95% CI, 4.2%-6.9%) for patients who underwent open mesh hernia repair and 3.7% (95% CI, 2.8%-4.6%) for patients who underwent laparoscopic mesh repair. The long-term repair-related complication rate for patients with an initial nonmesh repair was 0.8% (open nonmesh repair vs open mesh repair: risk difference, 5.3% [95% CI, 4.4%-6.2%]; open nonmesh repair vs laparoscopic mesh repair: risk difference, 3.4% [95% CI, 2.7%-4.1%]). Conclusions and Relevance: Among patients undergoing incisional repair, sutured repair was associated with a higher risk of reoperation for recurrence over 5 years compared with open mesh and laparoscopic mesh repair. With long-term follow-up, the benefits attributable to mesh are offset in part by mesh-related complications.

BACKGROUND: Conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) is regarded as the gold standard for cholecystectomy. However, single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC) has been suggested to replace CLC. This study aimed at comparing long-term incidences of port-site hernia and chronic pain after SLC versus CLC. METHODS: We conducted a matched cohort study based on prospective data (Jan 1, 2009-June 1, 2011) from the Danish Cholecystectomy Database with perioperative information and clinical follow-up. Consecutive patients undergoing elective SLC during the study period were included and matched 1:2 with patients subjected to CLC using pre-defined criteria. Follow-up data were obtained from the Danish National Patient Registry, mailed patient questionnaires, and clinical examination. A port-site hernia was defined as a repair for a port-site hernia or clinical hernia located at one or more port sites. RESULTS: In total, 699 patients were eligible and 147 patients were excluded from the analysis due to pre-defined criteria. The rate of returned questionnaires was 83%. Thus, 552 (SLC, n = 185; CLC, n = 367) patients were analyzed. The median observation time was 48 months (range 1-65) after SLC and 48 months (1-64) after CLC (P = 0.940). The total cumulated port-site hernia rate was 4 % and 6 % for SLC and CLC, respectively (P = 0.560). Incidences of moderate/severe chronic pain were 4 % and 5 % after SLC and CLC, respectively (P = 0.661). CONCLUSIONS: We found no difference in long-term incidence of port-site hernia or chronic pain after SLC versus CLC.

PURPOSE: Internal herniation is a well-known complication of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (L-RYGB). The aim of this study was to evaluate smoking as an independent risk factor for internal herniation after L-RYGB. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was performed as an exploratory post hoc analysis of data from a previous published randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to compare closure and non-closure of mesenteric defects in patients undergoing L-RYGB. The primary outcome of this study was to assess the significance of smoking as a risk factor for internal herniation after L-RYGB. Secondary outcome was early postoperative complications defined as Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ 2. RESULTS: Four hundred one patients were available for post hoc analysis. The risk of internal herniation was significantly higher among patients who were smoking preoperatively (hazard ratio (HR) 2.4, 95% confidence interval (c.i.) 1.3 to 4.5; p = 0.005). This result persisted after adjusting for other patient characteristics (HR 2.2, 1.2 to 4.2; p = 0.016). 6.0% of the patients had postoperative complications within the first 30 days. 4.9% of these patients were smoking and 6.3% were not smoking, p = 0.657. 11.0% of the patients underwent surgery due to internal herniation by 5 years after the primary procedure. CONCLUSION: Smoking is a significant risk factor for internal herniation but did not increase risk for 30 days postoperative complications.

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment of morbid obesity and obesity-related conditions. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become increasingly popular in Denmark and worldwide. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate long-term outcomes including postoperative complications after LSG. SETTING: University Hospitals, Denmark. METHODS: This was a nationwide multicenter cohort study including all patients who underwent LSG during 2010 to 2016 in Denmark. Data were collected from the Danish Obesity Surgery Registry and medical records. Representatives from all public bariatric centers in Denmark registered information on demography, indication, preoperative tests, operative information, weight loss, status of co-morbidities, and early and late complications. RESULTS: In total, 541 patients were included in the study. Median follow-up was 6 years, and 536 patients (99%) were available at the end of follow-up. The patients achieved a persistent weight loss. Quality of life significantly improved after both 12 and 24 months. Overall, 3% of the patients had a major complication ≤30 days after the procedure and 3% underwent reoperation. One in 5 patients (22%) had an early minor complication. In the long term, 3% of the patients had a major complication and 24% of the patients had ≥1 minor complication. The most common surgery-related healthcare contacts addressed gastroesophageal reflux, weight recurrence, and stenosis symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Patients after LSG achieved sufficient weight loss and improved quality of life. The procedure was safe with low risk of early and late major complications. However, there was a high frequency of early and late minor complications in 22% and 24% of the patients, respectively.

Background: Negative Pressure Therapy in closed incisions (ciNPT) after surgery has shown positive effects including reduction of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) incidence. In patients undergoing elective open incisional hernia repair, however, ciNPT is not standard care, perhaps due to high-quality evidence still not provided. This study hypothesizes that this patient group would benefit from ciNPT by reducing wound complications and improving postoperative quality of life. Method: This is a multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) including a total of 110 patients allocated in a 1:1 ratio with one intervention arm and one active control arm receiving ciNPT (i.e., Prevena™) and standard wound dressing, respectively. The primary outcome is the incidence of SSI at 30 days postoperatively and secondary outcomes are 1) pooled incidence of Surgical Site Occurrence (SSO), 2) patient-reported pain and satisfaction with the scar, and 3) hernia-related quality of life. Conclusion: Patients undergoing elective open incisional hernia repair are fragile with a high risk of wound complication development. This multicenter RCT seeks to deliver the high-quality evidence needed to establish the role ciNPT must play for exactly this group with the aim of reducing SSI incidence and health economic costs, and finally improving quality of life. There are no theoretical or clinical experience of unwanted consequences of this treatment.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Abdominal aortic aneurysm disease has been hypothesized as associated with the development of abdominal wall hernia. We evaluated the risk factors for incisional hernia repair after open elective aortic reconstructive surgery for aortoiliac occlusive disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of prospectively recorded data in nationwide databases was carried out, with merged data from the Danish Vascular Registry (January 2006-January 2012), the Danish Ventral Hernia Database (January 2007-January 2012), and the Danish National Patient Register (January 2007-January 2012) to obtain 100% follow-up for incisional hernia repair in patients undergoing open elective aortic reconstructive surgery. The predefined risk factors of age, sex, American Association of Anesthesiologists score, body mass index, smoking status, type of aortic surgery, and type of incision were tested in a multivariate Cox regression model for the risk of incisional hernia repair. RESULTS: We identified 2597 patients, of whom 838 and 1759 underwent open elective surgery for an aortoiliac occlusive disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm, respectively. The median follow-up was 28.9 months (range, 0-71.6 months), and the cumulative risk of hernia repair after aortic reconstructive surgery was 10.4% after 6 years of follow-up. Body mass index >25.0 kg/m(2) (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 1.21-2.46) and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.58; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-2.35) were significantly associated with incisional hernia repair. CONCLUSIONS: High body mass index and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair were independent risk factors for a subsequent incisional hernia surgery in patients undergoing aortic reconstructive surgery.

BACKGROUND: Surgical outcome results after repair for parastomal hernia are sparsely reported and based on small-scale studies. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to analyze surgical risk factors for 30-day reoperation and mortality, and, secondarily, to report the risk of reoperation for recurrence. DESIGN: This is a retrospective analysis of nationwide perioperative surgical variables. The primary outcome was reoperation for surgical complications and/or mortality within 30 days after parastomal hernia repair. Follow-up was obtained from the Danish National Patient Register. Detailed patient-related data were based on hospital files. Multivariate analysis was based on a compound parameter: 30-day reoperation or death. SETTING AND PATIENTS: All patients with a parastomal hernia repair registered in the Danish Hernia Database from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2010 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Univariate and logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for 30-day reoperation or death. RESULTS: The study included 174 patients with a parastomal hernia repair (142 elective and 32 emergency repairs; 56 open and 118 laparoscopic repairs). Median follow-up was 20 months (range, 0-47). A total of 13.2% were reoperated because of postoperative complications, and 6.3% of patients died within the first 30 postoperative days. Emergency repair was the strongest risk factor for reoperation or death in multivariate analyses (OR, 7.6; 95% CI, 2.7-21.5). No difference was found in preoperative risk of poor outcome between elective and emergency repairs (Charlson score 4 (range, 0-12) vs 5 (0-11), p = 0.07). After 3 years, the cumulated reoperation rate for recurrence was 10.8% (open 17.2% and laparoscopic 3.8%). LIMITATIONS: Patients' comorbidity was based on retrospective data, and the study had a relatively short follow-up. CONCLUSION: In the present nationwide study, repair for a parastomal hernia was associated with high rates of morbidity, mortality, and repair for recurrence. Emergency repair was the only important risk factor to predict poor 30-day postoperative outcome.

BACKGROUND: Early surgical results after emergency repairs for the most frequent ventral hernias (epigastric, umbilical, and incisional) are not well described. Thus, the aim of present study was to investigate early results and risk factors for poor 30-day outcome after emergency versus elective repair for ventral hernias. METHODS: All patients undergoing epigastric, umbilical, or incisional hernia repair registered in the Danish Hernia Database during the period 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2010 were included in the prospective study. Follow-up was obtained through administrative data from the Danish National Patient Register. RESULTS: In total, 10,041 elective and 935 emergency repairs were included. The risk for 30-day mortality, reoperation, and readmission was significantly higher (by a factor 2-15) after emergency repairs than after elective repairs (p ≤ 0.003). In addition, there were significantly more patients with concomitant bowel resection after emergency repairs than after elective repairs (p < 0.001). Independent risk factors for emergency umbilical/epigastric hernia repair were female gender, older age, hernia defects >2-7 cm, and repair for a primary hernia (vs recurrent hernia) (all p < 0.05). Independent risk factors for emergency incisional hernia repair were female gender, increasing age, and hernia defects ≤7 cm (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Emergency umbilical/epigastric or incisional hernia repair was beset with up to 15-fold higher mortality, reoperation, and readmission rates than elective repair. Older age, female gender, and umbilical hernia defects between 2 and 7 cm or incisional hernia defects up to 7 cm were important risk factors for emergency repair.
