Retrospective observational study on the incidence of incisional hernias after reversal of a temporary diverting ileostomy following rectal carcinoma resection with follow-up CT scans
Conclusion
We found a lower number of incisional hernias (11.1 %) after reversal of ileostomies than expected from the literature. In contrast to the findings at the ileostomy site, a very high frequency of IH (59.0 %) after LAR by laparotomy was found, which was significantly higher than after laparoscopic LAR.
