Abstrakt: A new report discusses research findings on the impact of surgical wound complications on the long-term quality of life of patients undergoing incisional hernia repair. The study evaluated 115 patients who underwent hernioplasty using different surgical techniques. The results showed that surgical wound outcomes did not have a significant impact on quality of life, but factors such as body mass index (BMI), hernia size, and mesh size were associated with worse quality of life outcomes. The researchers suggest that further studies should be conducted to evaluate the correlations between preoperative and postoperative quality of life indices. [Extracted from the article]
