Risk factors for incisional hernia after major abdominal surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study analyzes both patient-related and surgery-related factors associated with incisional hernia after major abdominal surgery. It includes adults with complete medical and operative records who had elective or emergency major abdominal procedures. Cases (those who developed an incisional hernia) will be compared to controls to identify independent risk factors. No intervention is tested; data are used to identify associations. The study is led by Sohag University at Sohag University Hospital.
