Laparoscopic Incisional Hernia Repair in Liver Transplant Patients

April 24, 2014 updated by: Matthias Biebl, Medical University Innsbruck

Outcomes Analysis of Laparoscopic Incisional Hernia Repair and Risk Factors for Hernia Recurrence in Liver Transplant Patients

Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing laparoscopic incisional hernia repair.

Study group: Patients with incisional hernia post liver transplantation Control group: Patients with incisional hernia post any other laparotomy in the upper quadrant.

Primary study outcome parameter: Risk of hernia recurrence. Secondary study outcome parameters: - Hernia repair-related infection rate

- Postoperative morbidity Statistical analysis: Comparison of study versus control group, univariate and multivariate analysis, Chi² and Mann-Whitney-U tests. P-values <0.05 were considered significant.
