Reoperation Rate Versus Clinical Recurrence After Ventral Hernia Repair

Completed

• Conditions: Ventral Hernia

• Registration Number: NCT01325246
• Lead Sponsor: Zealand University Hospital

Brief Summary

The risk for recurrence after ventral hernia repair is often based on reoperation rates with short follow-up rather than recurrences identified by clinical examinations.

The purpose of current study is find the real incidence of recurrences 3 years after ventral hernia repair and to compare with the reoperation rate.

Detailed Description
