Official Title: Nationwide Prospective Study of Surgical Risk Factors for Poor Outcome After Epigastric and Umbilical Hernia Repair
Brief Summary:
Umbilical and epigastric hernia repairs are common and performed by numerous surgical techniques. Considering that the hernia repairs in general are relatively small and simple procedures there are disproportionate poor results.
The aim of present study is to determine surgical risk factors for readmission after umbilical and epigastric hernia repair and to report risk factors for later reoperation for recurrence.
