Association Between Midline Extraction Incision and Increased Risk of Incisional Hernia After Minimally Invasive Radical Nephrectomy: Results of an Observational Study From a High-Volume Center
A midline extraction incision is associated with a significantly higher risk of IH after minimally invasive nephrectomy. Body morphometry analysis did not improve predictive models compared with models using BMI. These data support a prospective trial to identify the optimal extraction incision for hernia-free survival and patient-reported quality of life.
