Incidence and risk factors for incisional hernia after open surgery for colorectal cancer
Background/Aims:
To confirm the incidence and risk factors of incisional hernia after colorectal cancer surgery, we analyzed the clinical data including the surveillance computed tomography (CT) examination.
Methodology:
One hundred sixty seven patients with open abdominal surgery for colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
Incisional hernia was recognized in 27 cases (16.2%), and occurred at median 7 (1-21) months after surgery. Multivariate analysis showed the risk factors for incisional hernia were female (p=0.0014), distal colon and rectal cancer (p=0.0038), high body mass index (p=0.0055) and lower serum albumin (p=0.0081).
Conclusions:
Obesity, lower median incision and malnutrition might seem to relate to the incisional hernia after colorectal cancer surgery.
