Prevention of Postoperative Hernias in Emergency Surgery

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The aim of this observational study is to understand the risk factors and incidence of postoperative hernias among patients undergoing emergency surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the incidence of postoperative hernias in this group of patients? A brief telephone interview will be conducted with participants who will be included in this study one year after the surgery. If the presence of a postoperative hernia is suspected, the patient will be invited to a follow-up visit to the surgical clinic, where the diagnosis will be confirmed by imaging tests.
