Level 2c Enterotomy due to adhesiolysis is the most common intraoperative complication in VHR of which half occur during adhesiolysis
Extensive adhesiolysis predicts increased rates for morbidity, enterotomy, surgical site infection and length of hospital stay
Compared to primary ventral hernia repair, incisional ventral hernia repair requires more adhesiolysis
Level 3 Adhesiolysis is necessary in majority of patients undergoing VHR
Prolonged adhesiolysis time and preexisting intra-abdominal meshes are independent risk factors for enterotomy
