Cover Story: Incisional hernia remains a relevant complication after kidney transplantation, with reported incidences reaching up to 20%, particularly among high-risk recipients. Its occurrence is influenced by both patient-related factors, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus, and procedure-related factors, including immunosuppressive therapy and suture technique. In this single-center study of 1586 kidney transplants, obesity and older age were identified as the main independent risk factors for hernia development. Analysis of the type of fascial closure demonstrated a clinically meaningful reduction in hernia rates among obese patients when barbed sutures were used compared with conventional monofilament sutures. View this paper
