Popis:	BACKGROUND Transversus abdominis release (TAR) is an effective procedure for the repair of complex ventral hernias. However, TAR is not a low risk operation, particularly in older adults who are disproportionately affected by multiple age-related risk factors. While past studies have suggested that age alone inconsistently predicts patient outcomes, data regarding age's effect on postoperative outcomes and wound complications following a TAR are lacking. METHODS Patients who underwent either an open or robotic bilateral TAR from 1/2018 to 9/2020 were eligible for the study. Patients were stratified by age groups (≥ 60 years vs.
