Brief summary

Nationwide, registry based cohort studies on all complications requiring surgery following primary ventral hernia repair

Detailed description

Cohort based on patients registered in the Danish Ventral Hernia Database. Through cross-linking at an individual level, all subsequent operations will be identified in the Danish National Patient Registry. For all potentially related reoperations, patient charts will be retrieved and manually reviewed. Furthermore cross-linkage with the Danish Civil Registration System to retrieve information on civil status. Follow up from time of operation for primary ventral hernia repair (index operation) until reoperation, death, emigration or end of follow up (December 31, 2023), whichever comes first.
