The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of immunosuppression on wound complications after hernia repair with synthetic mesh. Our results do not show an association between immunosuppression and mesh infection or surgical site infection, but suggest that immunosuppression and mesh infection increase the odds for hernia recurrence.
