No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the physical fitness of patients undergoing hernia repair and correlate the postoperative outcomes and recovery as well as assess the impact of a targeted physical exercise program preoperatively in a cohort of frail, elderly patients.

The investigators hypothesize that physical exercise will improve activity levels in elderly patients with frailty prior to ventral hernia repair. The investigators further hypothesize that increased levels of activity preoperatively will correlate with improved postoperative outcomes.
