The aim of this observational study is to understand the risk factors and incidence of postoperative hernias among patients undergoing emergency surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the incidence of postoperative hernias in this group of patients? A brief telephone interview will be conducted with participants who will be included in this study one year after the surgery. If the presence of a postoperative hernia is suspected, the patient will be invited to a follow-up visit to the surgical clinic, where the diagnosis will be confirmed by imaging tests.
