Observational Study analyzing the long-term results of prophylactic mesh used for preventing incisional hernia after emergency midline laparotomies.
Background. Prevention of incisional hernias with a prophylactic mesh in emergency surgery is controversial. The present study aimed to analyze the long-term results of prophylactic mesh used for preventing incisional hernia after emergency midline laparotomies.
Methods. This study was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent an emergency midline laparotomy between January 2009 and July 2010 with a follow-up period of longer than 2 years. Long-term outcomes and risk factors for the development of incisional hernias between patients who received a prophylactic reinforcement mesh (Group M) and suture (Group S) were compared.
1,692 studies on the registry are indexed under Emergencies; 333 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 187 is below the median of 353 across 714 observational studies indexed under Emergencies.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who received a prophylactic mesh after emergency surgery due to high risk of incisional hernia.
Procedure: Prophylactic mesh use
Patients who's laparotomies closure was using only suture without any abdominal wall reinforcement
After laparotomy sutured clousur the abdominal wall wound is reinforced using a suprafascial synthetic mesh.
