Emergency abdominal wall hernia repairs are critical surgical emergencies where early detection is crucial to prevent necrosis and organ resection. This study retrospectively analyzed 122 patients undergoing emergency surgery for incarcerated abdominal wall hernias. Results show that elevated levels of lactate, white blood cells, neutrophils, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio are associated with bowel resection. Monocyte levels indicate the need for omental resection, suggesting the importance of predictive markers in guiding surgical decisions for better clinical outcomes.
