Novel risk factors for incisional hernia recurrence

Identification of pulmonary ventilation function abnormalities, age over 70, BMI over 27 kg/m2, and porcine small intestine submucosal mesh as independent risk factors for incisional hernia recurrence after open preperitoneal repair. Significant differences in recurrence and non-recurrence patients noted in factors such as mesh materials, surgical site infections, and hernia defect width. These findings provide critical insights for long-term management strategies.
