Incisional and parastomal hernias are frequent complications after abdominal surgery. Patients with relevant symptoms should be referred to the local surgical department for diagnosis and indication for surgery. Patients with giant and parastomal hernias are referred to one of the five Danish regional hernia centres.

Does closure of the direct hernia defect in laparoscopic inguinal herniotomy reduce the risk of recurrence and seroma formation?: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Recurrence is a known complication to inguinal herniotomy with an incidence of 10 to 15 percent (Hernia Surge Group in Hernia 22:165, 2018). Previous studies have shown that direct hernia or large defects are risk factors for postoperative seroma formation (Morito et al. in Surg Endosc https://doi.

National clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of symptomatic gallstone disease: 2021 recommendations from the Danish Surgical Society.

Background And Objective: Gallstones are highly prevalent, and more than 9000 cholecystectomies are performed annually in Denmark. The aim of this guideline was to improve the clinical course of patients with gallstone disease including a subgroup of high-risk patients. Outcomes included reduction of complications, readmissions, and need for additional interventions in patients with uncomplicated gallstone disease, acute cholecystitis, and common bile duct stones (CBDS).

Recurrence and complications after sliding inguinal hernia repair.

Purpose: Sliding hernia is a rare finding and it remains controversial if a laparoscopic or an open (Lichenstein) technique is preferable for repair of sliding hernias. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of post-operative complications and risk of reoperation due to recurrence in patients with sliding hernia based on surgical technique.

Method: The study included male patients receiving hernia repair between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2017.

Open versus laparoscopic incisional hernia repair: nationwide database study.

Background: Although laparoscopic repair of incisional hernias decreases the incidence of wound complications compared with open repair, there has been rising concern related to intraperitoneal mesh placement. The aim of this study was to examine outcomes after open or laparoscopic elective incisional hernia mesh repair on a nationwide basis.

Methods: This study analysed merged data from the Danish Hernia Database and the National Patient Registry on perioperative information, 90-day readmission, 90-day reoperation for complication, and long-term operation for hernia recurrence among patients who underwent primary repair of an incisional hernia between 2007 and 2018.
