| Core Tip |
This systematic review and meta-analysis provide a comprehensive evaluation of incisional hernia (IH) following liver transplantation, synthesizing evidence on risk factors, surgical techniques, and repair outcomes. It identifies high body mass index, male sex, older age, and re-laparotomy as key risk factors, and highlights a higher incidence of IH with Chevron and Mercedes-Benz incisions. While laparoscopic and open repairs show comparable outcomes, biological mesh may reduce complications in immunosuppressed patients. These findings emphasize the importance of individualized surgical planning and underscore the need for standardized outcome reporting and integration of quality-of-life measures in future research. |
