A survival function diagram drawn using the life-table method demonstrates well the relation of internal hernia occurrence to post-operative time. Operation for internal hernia is the terminal event. The analysis is based on 1,671 patients operated in Oslo with LRGB from 2006 to mid 2010. One hundred four (6.2% overall) cases had been reoperated for confirmed, clinically significant internal hernia. This diagram illustrates how the internal hernia cases start to occur 3 months post-operatively and seem to be uniformly frequent through the first 3 years. Internal hernia operation-free survival by this method is estimated to be 88.9% at the end of a 5-year follow-up
