Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to describe the development of symptomatic and asymptomatic incisional hernias after emergency midline laparotomy over time in high-risk patients evaluated by consecutive MRI-scans.
Detailed Description:
All patients operated with an emergency midline laparotomy in our clinic are potential participants and will be screened for participation. Potential participants will be briefly informed about the project by the hospital staff. If the patients are interested, they will be thoroughly informed about the study and asked to participate by one of the trial investigators before discharge.
Data will be obtained from the participants hospital files and by patient survey/interview. All data will be entered into a database using RedCap by trial investigators or their delegates.
Enrolled patients will be followed for two years. The trial involves four consecutive MRI-scans one month, three months, six months and two years after surgery. Change in quality of life, physical functioning and pain-score are also obtained by patient survey/interview at each visit. A concluding physical examination and abdominal wall ultrasound examination will be performed two years after the surgery.
