Midline Restoration After HYbriD Hernia RepAir Surgery (HYDRA)
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the functioning of the abdominal wall in patients who underwent hybrid (open- and laparoscopic) incisional hernia repair. The main objective is to assess the anatomical restoration and function of the linea alba one year after surgery by ultrasonography and mean peak torque during trunk flexion using a BioDex machine.
