Summary

This is a prospective multicenter study of patients diagnosed with a medium to giant incisional hernia (transverse defect \>7 cm). Patients referred to the surgical outpatient clinic are invited to participate in the study. As a standard, all patients who are examined for incisional hernia undergo CT scan according to a hernia protocol, before planning of surgical repair (baseline scan). After this CT scan, patients are seen in the out-patient clinic once again and either treated conservatively without surgery, or scheduled for elective surgical repair of the hernia.

If surgery is planned, the patients participating in the study undergo an additional CT scan in hernia protocol, within two weeks prior to surgery (follow-up scan).

If a conservative non-surgical approach is chosen, patients can still participate in the study and will undergo an additional CT scan after 28-32 weeks.
