    Pancreatic surgery has lower mortality rates but high morbidity, with a 12-18% risk of incisional hernias post-resection.

    Open surgery remains the predominant approach for pancreatic procedures, while minimally invasive techniques are gaining traction.

    Transverse laparotomy is associated with a lower risk of incisional hernias compared to medial incisions, but recurrence rates are higher for lateral hernias.

    The Herniamed Registry includes 129,257 patients with incisional hernias, with only 755 having undergone pancreatic surgery.
