Research is focused on development of new techniques to prevent incisional hernia. Little is known about application of this evidence in daily practice. Therefore, a survey was performed among Dutch surgeons. All members of the Dutch Surgical Society were invited to participate in a 24-question online survey on techniques and materials used for abdominal wall closure after midline laparotomy. Subgroup analysis based on surgical subspecialty, hospital and experience was performed.
