140 Chapter 5 to be fairly explained by the spread in IH proportions within gastroschisis studies. This spread in its turn could be explained by differences in distribution of the described risk factors. Other anomalies showed moderate to low heterogeneity. Conclusion This systematic review shows that the incidence of incisional hernia is 3% all studies on surgical correction of abdominal congenital anomalies in infants are combined. Overall the incidences seem comparable between studies reporting on laparoscopies and laparotomies. Gastroschisis patients are most at risk for developing IH with an approximated incidence of 10%. In subgroup analysis complex gastroschisis and SILO closure were identified as significant risk factors for IH.
