First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviews medical records of 500 adults who had cytoreductive surgery (with or without heated chemotherapy) for advanced abdominal cancers. The goal is to find out how often incisional hernias occur and what patient or surgical factors increase the risk. Researchers hope the findings will lead to better prevention and treatment strategies.
