    Incisional hernias (IH) are common complications after abdominal surgeries, with incidence rates of 5–20% following laparotomies.

  • 2

    Emergency management of IH poses significant challenges, leading to worse outcomes compared to elective repairs due to patient frailty and comorbidities.

  • 3

    Timing of surgical intervention is critical in emergency IH cases to prevent systemic inflammatory responses and sepsis.

  • 4

    The European Hernia Society conducted a scoping review to identify research gaps and inform guidelines for emergency incisional hernia repair.

  • 5

    The review included various study types and focused on outcomes such as morbidity, surgical site infections, and recurrence rates in emergency IH cases.
