Simultaneous incisional hernia repair and colorectal surgery: one or two-step procedure?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePatients requiring colorectal surgery in the context of an incisional hernia are common, but it is not clear whether the repair should be performed as a single or two-step surgery. Our aim was to evaluate complications after concomitant abdominal wall repair and colorectal surgery compared to those after incisional hernia repair alone.
methodsAdult patients who underwent elective incisional hernia surgery from 2012-2022 from the EVEREG registry were included. Patients who underwent midline incisional hernia repair as a single procedure and patients who underwent midline incisional hernia repair concomitant with colorectal surgery were included. The primary outcome was surgical site infection (SSI). The secondary outcomes were the Clavien-Dindo classification grade, in-hospital mortality and recurrence.
resultsA total of 7783 patients were included: 256(3.3%) who underwent concomitant surgery and 7527(96.7%) who underwent only midline incisional hernia repair. The first group included more comorbid patients and complex hernias. SSI was found in 55.4% of patients who underwent simultaneous surgery compared to 30.7% of patients who underwent hernia repair alone (P = 0.000). Multivariate analysis revealed that the risk factors for SSI were BMI (OR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.02-1.11; P = 0.004), smoking (OR = 1.89, 95% CI 1.12-3.19; P = 0.017), transverse diameter (OR = 1.06, 95% CI 1.01-1.11; P = 0.017), component separation (OR = 1.996, 95% CI 1.25-3.08; P = 0.037) and clean-contaminated and contaminated surgeries(OR = 3.86, 95% CI 1.36-10.66; P = 0.009). Higher grades of Clavien-Dindo (P = 0.001) and mortality rates (P < 0.001) were found in the colorectal surgery group, although specific risk factors were detected. No differences were observed in terms of recurrence (P = 0.104).
conclusionsConcomitant surgery is related to greater risk of complications, especially in patients with comorbidities and complex hernias. In properly selected cases, simultaneous procedures can yield satisfactory results.
