Title: Incidence, risk factors, and predictive modeling of stoma site incisional hernia after
enterostomy closure: A multicenter retrospective cohort study
Version: 2 Date: 19 Mar 2023
Reviewer:  Katsuhito Suwa
Reviewer's report:
The authors described the incidence of and the risk factors for incisional hernia following stoma-
closure procedure. The manuscript was well written and interesting. However, there are several
issues to be solved.
#1. In the title page, authors contributions should be declared for all authors.
#2. In the abstract, conclusion about prophylactic mesh placement is very abruptly and not
mentioned in the results.
#3. In your study, no case was performed prophylactic mesh placement. Therefore, in the
Introduction section, line 75-81 should be omitted.
#4.  What is your novelty compared with reference #3-5?
