Does Preoperative Physical Activity Predict Postoperative Complications After Incisional Hernia Repair ?

Patients with abdominal wall incisional hernia often have numerous comorbidities, making management complex.

To date, no study has described the relationship between preoperative physical activity and the occurrence of complications, particularly severe ones, after incisional hernia repair.

The research hypothesis is that "patient fragility" related to physical inactivity and comorbidities is a poor prognostic factor for the occurrence of complications after incisional hernia repair and a source of more severe complications.
