Résumé
Ventral hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. Despite the large volume, consensus is lacking regarding indications for repair or choice of surgical method used for reconstruction. The aim of this study was to explore the risk for major complications and mortality in ventral hernia repair using data from a nationwide patient register. Patient data of individuals over 18 years of age who had a ventral hernia procedure between 2004 and 2014 were retrieved from the Patient Register kept by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. After exclusion of patients with concomitant bowel surgery, 45 676 primary surgical admissions were included. Procedures were dichotomised into laparoscopic and open surgery, and stratified for primary and incisional hernias. A total of 45 676 admissions were analysed. The material comprised 36% (16 670) incisional hernias and 64% (29 006) primary hernias. Women had a higher risk for reoperation during index admission after primary hernia repair (OR 1.84 (1.29-2.62)). Forty-three patients died of complications within 30 days of index surgery. Patients aged 80 years and older had a 2.5 times higher risk for a complication leading to reoperation, and a 12-fold higher mortality risk than patients aged 70-79 years. Age is the dominant mortality risk factor in ventral hernia repair. Laparoscopic surgery was associated with a lower risk for reoperation during index admission. Reoperation seems to be a valid outcome variable, while registration of complications is generally poor in this type of cohort.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
OBJECTIVE
Ventral hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. Despite the large volume, consensus is lacking regarding indications for repair or choice of surgical method used for reconstruction. The aim of this study was to explore the risk for major complications and mortality in ventral hernia repair using data from a nationwide patient register.
METHOD
METHODS
Patient data of individuals over 18 years of age who had a ventral hernia procedure between 2004 and 2014 were retrieved from the Patient Register kept by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. After exclusion of patients with concomitant bowel surgery, 45 676 primary surgical admissions were included. Procedures were dichotomised into laparoscopic and open surgery, and stratified for primary and incisional hernias.
RESULTS
RESULTS
A total of 45 676 admissions were analysed. The material comprised 36% (16 670) incisional hernias and 64% (29 006) primary hernias. Women had a higher risk for reoperation during index admission after primary hernia repair (OR 1.84 (1.29-2.62)). Forty-three patients died of complications within 30 days of index surgery. Patients aged 80 years and older had a 2.5 times higher risk for a complication leading to reoperation, and a 12-fold higher mortality risk than patients aged 70-79 years.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Age is the dominant mortality risk factor in ventral hernia repair. Laparoscopic surgery was associated with a lower risk for reoperation during index admission. Reoperation seems to be a valid outcome variable, while registration of complications is generally poor in this type of cohort.
