BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of @entity102 on the risk for @entity260 following open groin hernia surgery. METHODS: During the study period (2002-2011), 133,074 open repairs were registered in the Swedish @entity547 Register. History of peripheral @entity455 , @entity2597 , @entity177 , @entity28 , and @entity1575 as well as data on @entity548 or @entity1410 , wound dehiscence, @entity86 , and reoperation for superficial @entity281 or @entity548 within 30  days after surgery were obtained by matching with the Swedish @entity1 Register. RESULTS: In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, a significantly increased risk for @entity548 or @entity1410 within 30  days after surgery was seen for older @entity1 , males, @entity1575 , @entity1095 , and @entity2597 (p  <  0.05). High age (>80  years), previous history of @entity1095 , @entity2597 , and male gender were risk factors for wound dehiscence (p  <  0.05). @entity1575 , @entity740 , BMI  >  25, and male gender were associated with increased risk for @entity6081 (p  <  0.05). A significantly increased risk for reoperation for superficial @entity281 or @entity548 was seen in @entity1 with @entity1095 and elderly @entity1 (p  <  0.05). CONCLUSION: Risk for @entity260 in open groin hernia surgery is increased in elderly @entity1 , @entity1 with @entity1575 , and those with @entity1095 . The indications for surgery should be weighed against the risk for wound-healing complications in these @entity1 groups. Watchful waiting may be an alternative, although this carries the risk of emergency surgery.
