Objective  To explore the incidence of postoperative recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia and its related risk factors. Methods  The clinical data of 213 patients with abdominal incisional hernia treated in the General Surgery of Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were collected retrospectively, and the incidence of postoperative recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia and its related influencing factors were analyzed. Results  A total of 213 patients underwent a complete follow-up. The follow-up time was 3 to 60 months, and the median follow-up time was 46 months. A total of 24 cases (11.27%) of hernia recurred after surgery. The univariate analysis results showed that body mass index (BMI), hernia ring size, incarceration, recurrent hernia, history of multiple abdominal operations, postoperative incision complications, factors such as increased abdominal pressure, and whether the patch were used for postoperative recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia influences (P<0.05). Further logistic multi-factor analysis results showed that BMI [OR=1.14, 95%CI (1.01, 1.29), P=0.040], incarcerated hernia [OR=8.94, 95%CI (1.94, 40.98), P=0.005], recurrent hernia [OR=10.91, 95%CI (2.09, 56.84), P=0.005], and hernia ring size [OR=1.15, 95%CI (1.03, 1.28), P=0.010] were related to the recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia after surgery (P<0.05). Conclusions  The risk factors for hernia recurrence after abdominal incisional hernia repair include recurrent hernia, incarcerated hernia, hernia ring size, and BMI. For patients with high-risk factors, corresponding measures should be taken to prevent hernia recurrence.
