Summary
The implementation of an enhanced recovery pathway after giant ventral hernia repair, including preoperative high-dose steroid is examined prospectively and compared with a group of historic controls.
Detailed description
All patients operated on for a large incisional hernia are treated according to the study protocol. Patients are given high-dose glucocorticoid preoperative and the aim is to discharge patients at postoperative day 3. Morbidity, length of stay, pain, nausea and pulmonary function are among registered outcomes compared with a historic control group.
