Predicting fascial non-closure in ventral hernia repair with transversus abdominis release: risk factors, clinical outcomes, and implications for surgical planning
While excellent overall fascial closure rates were achieved among patients undergoing TAR, specific patient and hernia characteristics significantly impact success. These findings establish a reference point for closure rates by hernia width and identify high-risk populations who may benefit from preoperative adjunctive interventions.
