ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Incisional hernias are common after laparotomies. The aims of this study were to assess the rate of incisional hernia repair after abdominal surgery, recurrence rate, hospital costs, and risk factors, in France.METHODS:
This national, retrospective, longitudinal, observational study was based on the exhaustive hospital discharge database (PMSI). All adult patients (≥ 18 years old) hospitalised for an abdominal surgical procedure between 01-01-2013 and 31-12-2014 and hospitalised for incisional hernia repair within five years were included. Descriptive analyses and cost analyses from the National Health Insurance (NHI) viewpoint (hospital care for the hernia repair) were performed. To identify risk factors for hernia repair a multivariable Cox model and a machine learning analysis were performed.RESULTS:
In 2013-2014, 710074 patients underwent abdominal surgery, of which 32633 (4.6%) and 5117 (0.7%) had ≥ 1 and ≥ 2 incisional hernia repair(s) within five years, respectively. Mean hospital costs amounted to 4153/hernia repair, representing nearly 67.7 million/year. Some surgical sites exposed patients at high risk of incisional hernia repair colon and rectum (hazard ratio [HR] 1.2), and other sites on the small bowel and the peritoneum (HR 1.4). Laparotomy procedure and being ≥ 40 years old put patients at high risk of incisional hernia repair even when operated on low-risk sites such as stomach, duodenum, and hepatobiliary.CONCLUSION:
The burden of incisional hernia repair is high and most patients are at risk either due to age ≥ 40 or the surgery site. New approaches to prevent the onset of incisional hernia are warranted.Palabras clave
