Postoperative outcomes in transplant patients undergoing ventral hernia repair
In our study we did not observe increased risk of adverse outcomes in midline hernia repairs in transplant patients. However, non-midline ventral hernias significantly impact ventral hernia outcomes in transplant patients. In a case-matched cohort, there was no increased rates of SSI or SSO in transplant patients compared to nontransplant patients, but hernia recurrence rates were higher in the transplant cohort.
