Patients with EHPVO who had one of the following interventions:
– Abdominal surgery (including abdominal wall surgery)
– urologic surgery (except testicle surgery and endoscopic surgery)

EHPVO should be diagnosed prior to, or at the time of abdominal surgery.
Exclusion criteria

Controls (2:1)
Each patient with EHPVO will be matched to 2 control patients according to
