For all potentially related reoperations, patient charts will be retrieved and manually reviewed. Furthermore cross-linkage with the Danish Civil Registration System to retrieve information on civil status. Follow up from time of operation for primary ventral hernia repair (index operation) until reoperation, death, emigration or end of follow up (December 31, 2023), whichever comes first.
