    Minimally invasive colorectal surgery reduces hospital stays and post-operative pain but raises concerns about incisional hernia (IH) incidence.

  • 2

    The choice of specimen extraction site significantly affects the incidence of IH, with midline incisions having a higher risk than off-midline incisions.

  • 3

    In this study, 30.9% of patients with midline extraction sites developed IH, while no patients with off-midline sites experienced IH.

  • 4

    The midline extraction site was identified as an independent risk factor for IH, with a relative risk of 29.1 compared to off-midline sites.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that surgical teams should consider extraction site choices carefully to minimize the risk of IH in colorectal surgeries.
