Quality of life and abdominal wall functionality after abdominal wall reconstruction: A prospective single center follow-up study
Our results suggest that patients can expect to see a significant overall improvement in all five components of QoL measured with the help of Eq. 5D questionnaire. This improvement is dependent by hernia size, and some individual patient's factors (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and age over 60 years).
