Description
Sandra Ahlqvist and co-authors count hernia repairs after weight loss surgery across Sweden. Keyhole operations leave small port wounds that can later bulge into hernias. Registries linked over sixty four thousand bariatric patients to later hospital care. Five years out, about three in a hundred had needed a ventral hernia operation.
Repairs came more often after gastric bypass than after sleeve surgery, even when the sleeve group's shorter tracking was weighed. Repairs clustered about three years after the first operation. The authors call the burden real, not negligible, and worth weighing in procedure choice and follow up planning.
