  • Incisional hernia is a frequent issue after abdominal surgeries, particularly in obese patients; this study aimed to explore the link between sarcobesity and hernia development following laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.
  • A total of 262 patients were analyzed, revealing that 16.8% developed incisional hernias, with significant risk factors identified, including female sex, various types of obesity, sarcobesity, and wound infections.
  • The findings suggest that sarcobesity is a strong independent predictor of incisional hernia, highlighting the role of body composition in post-surgery complications.
