Incidence of and Risk Factors for Incisional Hernia After Hepatectomy for Colorectal Liver Metastases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Incisional hernia (IH) is common after major abdominal surgery; however, the incidence after hepatectomy for cancer has not been described. We analyzed incidence of and risk factors for IH after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CLM).

Methods

Patients who underwent open hepatectomy with midline or reverse-L incision for CLM at a single institution between 2010 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Postoperative CT scans were reviewed to identify IH and the time from hepatectomy to hernia. Cumulative IH incidence was calculated using competing risk analysis. Risk factors were assessed using Cox proportional hazards model analysis. The relationship between IH incidence and preoperative body mass index (BMI) was estimated using a generalized additive mod
