Condition: Incisional Hernia · Aortic Aneurysm · Sponsor: Hôpital Fribourgeois
The goal of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate whether prophylactic mesh reinforcement during abdominal wall closure can prevent incisional hernias (IH) in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does mesh reinforcement reduce the incidence of incisional hernias? * What is the frequency of associated postoperative complications? Researchers will compare the outcomes of patients who underwent mesh-reinforced closures to literature-reported outcomes for non-mesh cases to assess differences in IH incidence and complications. Participants will: * Undergo clinical follow-ups and abdominal ultrasounds to detect IH. * Complete quality-of-life questionnaires (EQ-5D and PROMIS).
