Ventral Hernia Repair and Obesity: Results from a Nationwide Register Study in France According to the Timeframes of Hernia Repair and Bariatric Surgery.

About one-quarter of bariatric patients undergoing VHR will be reoperated for an anterior hernia. VHR before BS entailed a higher risk of reoperation for recurrence and should be avoided. A concomitant repair entailed the lowest rate of recurrence.
