Patients and Methods: The study involved 737 patients who underwent laparoscopic procedures between 2009 and 2017 (Japanese University-Hospital-Medical-Information-Network Clinical Trials Resistry No. 000040653). The occurrences of superficial surgical site infection (SSI) and TUI hernia were analyzed. Results: SSI occurred in 17 patients (2.31%) and hernia occurred in 29 (3.93%). Multivariate analysis revealed that female sex and diabetes mellitus were correlated with incisional hernia. Propensity score-matching analysis was performed to compare those who underwent colorectal resection with those who underwent other resections; the results showed that the former had a significantly higher rate of TUI hernia (p<0.001), as well as a significantly higher incidence of SSI (p=0.004). Conclusion: A significant higher incidence of SSI and TUI hernia in laparoscopic colorectal resection was found. The construction of the TUI was feasible with rationality. %U https://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/anticanres/42/2/1115.full.pdf
