Background & Aims: Although incisional hernia repair in women of childbearing age is not rare, hernia disease in this group of patients is sparsely documented. The aim of this study was to examine long-term clinical results after incisional hernia repair in women of childbearing age. Material and methods: This nationwide cohort study examined incisional hernia repair from 2007 to 2013 in women of childbearing age, registered prospectively in the Danish Ventral Hernia Database. All women with a subsequent pregnancy were included, and a 1:3 propensity-score matched group of women with an incisional hernia repair without a subsequent pregnancy. A prospective follow-up was conducted, including a validated questionnaire. The primary outcome was recurrence, and the secondary outcome was chronic pain from the operated site. Results: In total, 124 (70.5%) women responded, 47 and 77 women with and without a subsequent pregnancy, respectively. The 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrence was 41.0% (95% confidence interval 32.0%–49.9%). After adjustment for potential confounders, subsequent pregnancy was independently associated with recurrence (hazard ratio 1.83, 95% confidence interval 1.02–3.29, p = 0.044). Twenty-six (21.0%) women reported chronic pain (moderate, n = 21; severe, n = 5) with no difference between women with and without a subsequent pregnancy. Hernia recurrence, higher body mass index, and smoking were associated with chronic pain. Conclusion: Pregnancy following incisional hernia repair was associated with an increased risk of recurrence, but not with chronic pain.

Abstract Aim To assess the outcomes of implementation of extended Totally Extraperitoneal Repair (eTEP) for incisional hernia in our clinic. Material and Methods In our clinic abdominal wall hernias are predominantly repaired in eMILOS (endoscopic Mini or Less Open Sublay)-technique. However, we hoped for advantages in repairing incisional hernias in eTEP-technique. From 19.09.2019 till 28.04.2021 there were 13 patients with incisional hernias included to be operated in eTEP-technique. Results Among 13 patients, mean age was 64,6 years (range 47 – 78 years), 7 females (54%) and 6 males (46%). Average diameter of the hernia was 6,46 cm (range 2 – 14 cm). The mean Body Mass Index of the patients was 29,41 kg/m² (range 18,4 – 48,76 kg/m²). The mean duration of the operation was 162,38 minutes (range 106 – 237 minutes). The mean surface of the mesh was 612 cm² (range 225 – 1200 cm²). Hospital stay lasted mean of 5,8 days (range 2 – 28 days). We observed one postoperative complication as a lung artery embolism occurred in one patient with preperitoneal heamatoma due to needed anticoagulation. Till today we have not observed any recurrence. Conclusions Our study shows that a new method of incisional hernia repair with mesh placement can be a safely implemented and may have advantages compering with other laparoscopic methods. It has low complication rate, shows good cosmetic results and is cost effective.

Abstract Introduction To date, little attention has been paid by surgical scientific studies to sex as a potential influence factor on the outcome. Therefore, there is a sex bias in the surgical literature. With an incidence of more than 20% after 3 years, incisional hernias are a common complication following abdominal surgical procedures. The proportion of women affected is around 50%. There are very few references in the literature to the influence of sex on the outcome of elective incisional hernia repair. Materials and methods In all, 22,895 patients with elective incisional hernia repair from the Herniamed Registry were included in the study. The patients had undergone elective incisional hernia repair in a laparoscopic IPOM, open sublay, open IPOM, open onlay or suture technique. 1-year follow-up was available for all patients. Propensity score matching was performed for the 11,480 female (50.1%) and 11,415 male (49.9%) patients, creating 8138 pairs (82.0%) within fixed surgical procedures. Results For pain on exertion (11.7% vs 18.3%; p < 0.001), pain at rest (7.53% vs 11.1%; p < 0.001), and pain requiring treatment (5.4% vs 9.1%; p < 0.001) highly significant disadvantages were identified for the female sex when comparing the different results within the matched pairs. That was also confirmed on comparing sex within the individual surgical procedures. No sex-specific differences were identified for the postoperative complications, complication-related reoperations or recurrences. Less favorable intraoperative complication results in the female sex were observed only for the onlay technique. Conclusions Female sex is an independent risk factor for chronic pain after elective incisional hernia repair.
