of between 4.6 to 8.8% per year; components separation technique having the lowest recurrence hazard. All open repair techniques with mesh had lower recurrence hazards than techniques without mesh, ranging from 0.3-3.4% per year. The lowest recurrence hazards were seen for sandwich technique (0.3% per year), aponeuroplasty with IPOM mesh (0.5% per year) and mesh in sublay position (0.5% per year). The open and laparoscopic intraperitoneal bridging techniques showed high recurrence hazards of 2.5 and 3.1% per year, only exceeded by onlay mesh repair with 3.4% per year recurrence hazard for mesh repair techniques.
