Despite significant improvements in medical technology and healthcare, an increasing number of patients are also benefiting from complex surgical procedures. The objective of this study was to analyze the risk factors for incisional abdominal hernias and to identify measures that could reduce the incidence of this complication.
Material and methods: All patients included in the study are from the University Hospital of Trauma for a period of 3 years, from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017.
