RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess the utility of the EVEREG registry in evaluating the evolution of surgical treatment for incisional hernia and its outcomes in Spain by comparing data from 2 study periods. METHODS: A retrospective comparative analysis of hernia surgeries performed between 2011 and 2015 (first period) and between 2017 and 2022 (second period) was conducted using data collected from the EVEREG registry. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were observed in the second cohort, including: a decrease in minimally invasive procedures (11.7% vs 8.2%; P < .001), an increase in emergency surgeries for males (31.7% vs 41.2%; P = .017), an increase in trocar hernia repairs (16% vs 26.2%; P < .0001), a reduction in suture repairs (2.8% vs 1.5%; P < .0001), and an increase in retromuscular techniques (36.4% vs 52.4%; P < .001) in open surgery with mesh. In elective surgery, there was a decrease in the average length of stay (4.9 vs 3.8 days; P < .0001), the percentage of complications (27.9% vs 24.0%; P < .0001), reoperations (3.5% vs 1.4%; P < .0001), and mortality (0.6% vs 0.2%; P = .002). Long-term outcomes included a decrease in recurrences after 12 months (20.7% vs 14.5%; P < .0001) and in chronic pain (13.7% vs 2.5%; P < .0001) and chronic infections (9.1% vs 14.5%; P < .0001) after 6 months. CONCLUSION: In recent years, there has been a significant improvement in the outcomes of incisional hernia treatment. The registry serves as a fundamental tool for assessing the evolution of hernia treatment and enables the identification of key areas for improvement and the evaluation of treatment outcomes.

RESUMEN

Introducción La hernia incisional (HI) es una complicación frecuente. El objetivo principal de este estudio es comparar características, complicaciones y recurrencias de las HI producidas por la colocación de un trócar laparoscópico umbilical (M3T) con las de misma localización tras cirugía abierta (M3O); y de forma secundaria, la identificación de factores de riesgo. Método Estudio observacional transversal analizando al registro EVEREG durante el periodo entre julio del 2012 y junio del 2018. Las variables principales fueron recurrencias y complicaciones postoperatorias. Se compararon ambos grupos (M3T y M3O). Se realizó regresión logística múltiple para identificar los factores de riesgo de la cohorte completa. Resultados Se incluyeron un total de 882 casos. El grupo M3O presentó un ASA superior, HI con criterios de mayor complejidad para la reparación, mayor número de recurrencias a los 12 y 24 meses (8,6 vs. 2,5%; p < 0,0001 y 9,3 vs. 2,9%; p < 0,0001, respectivamente) y complicaciones postoperatorias (21,9 vs. 14,6%; p = 0,02). Se identificaron como factores de riesgo para la aparición de complicaciones postoperatorias, la reparación previa, la duración de la intervención y el requerimiento de procedimientos asociados, y para las recidivas: la ausencia de especialista de pared abdominal, la reparación previa y la aparición de complicaciones. El análisis por puntuación de propensión no detectó diferencias significativas en complicaciones y recurrencias. Conclusiones Las HI M3 de trócar umbilical son menos complejas que las originadas por cirugía abierta. La complejidad no se relaciona con el origen de la hernia, sino con sus características y las del paciente (AU)

Introduction Incisional hernia (HI), in open and laparoscopic surgery, is a very frequent complication. HI located in the umbilical region are called M3. The main aim of this study is to compare HI produced by the placement of an umbilical laparoscopic trocar (M3T) with those located in M3 in open surgery (M3O) in terms of basal characteristics, complications and recurrences; and secondarily the identification of risk factors. Method Cross-sectional observational study based on the national prospective registry EVEREG during the period of July 2012 - June 2018. The main variables were recurrences and postoperative complications. Both groups (M3T and M3O) were compared. Multiple logistic regression was performed to identify the risk factors of the entire cohort. Results 882 had a follow-up time longer than 12 months. M3O group presented superior ASA-Class, more complex HI and previous repair. It also presented a higher recurrence rate at 12 and 24 months (8.6 vs. 2.5%; p < 0,0001 and 9.3 vs. 2.9%; p < 0.0001) and higher postoperative complications rate (21.9 vs. 14.6%; p = 0.02). Previous repair, intervention length and associated procedures requirement were identified as risk factors for postoperative complications. Absence of a specialist present during surgery, previous repair, and the absence of complications were identified as risk factors for recurrence. In the PSM analysis no differences were detected in of complications and recurrences. Conclusions HI M3O is more complex than M3T. The complexity is not related to the origin of the hernia but to its characteristics and those of the patient (AU)
