Outcomes of recurrent incisional hernia repair by open and laparoscopic approaches: a propensity score-matched comparison.

The outcomes of recurrent incisional hernia surgery after lap. IPOM and open sublay repair appear similar, except that the former had shorter length of postoperative stay. However, the poor outcomes were more likely associated with the unfavorable risk profiles, such as larger defect size, rather than the procedure technique itself.
