Parastomal Hernia
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the overall outcomes after parastomal hernia repairs in Denmark from 2007-2017 using data from the Danish Hernia Database and Danish Patients Registry. Specifically, the readmission and reoperation rates will be evaluated.
Detailed description
The Danish Hernia Database covers about 80% of all ventral hernia repairs performed in Denmark. Data on size of hernia, type of surgery, type of mesh and fixation method is available from the Danish Hernia Database. All healthcare services in Denmark are registered in the Danish National Patients Registry and data on 30-day readmission rate, readmission diagnosis and reoperation is found here. Each Danish citizen has a unique personal identification number and by merging data from the Danish Hernia Database and National Patients Registry, nationwide data on parastomal hernia repairs is available. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the overall outcomes after parastomal hernia repairs in Denmark from 2007-2017 focusing on readmission and reoperation rates.
