Critical body mass index associated with increased ventral hernia recurrence rate

International Journal of Abdominal Wall and Hernia Surgery, 2023
BACKGROUND: Body mass index (BMI) is a settled risk factor for ventral hernia repair complications. There is no agreement for a specific perfect BMI maximum value for elective hernia surgical repair. The goal of this study is to determine a BMI threshold
