No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Nowadays incisional hernia are primarily repaired using prosthetic meshes. In Switzerland such meshes are mainly implanted via open or laparoscopic approach. The differential impact of these two types of surgical technique on recurrence rate will be investigated with this study.

With this multicenter cohort study the outcomes of laparoscopic and open incisional hernia repair will be investigated prospectively. Hernia recurrence is the main outcome measure.

Hypothesis:

Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair is associated with a lower recurrence rate compared to open incisional hernia repair.
