The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes after epigastric hernia repairs in women on a nationwide basis. Methods Nationwide cohort study from the Danish Hernia Database. Complete data from women undergoing elective epigastric hernia repair during a 12-year period (2007-2018) was extracted.
