A new study published in the British Journal of Surgery found incisional hernia is common following colorectal cancer surgery. At 1 or 2 years, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of Hughes closure vs mass closure.
Incisional hernias cause morbidity and may necessitate further surgery. HART (Hughes Abdominal Repair Trial) tested the impact of a different suture procedure on the occurrence of incisional hernia after colorectal cancer surgery. As a result, the purpose of this study was to compare the use of the Hughes closure vs traditional mass closure for closure of midline abdominal wall incisions in patients following colon cancer surgery.
