INCISIONAL HERNIA

About Incisional Hernia

An incisional hernia develops when abdominal contents protrude through a weakened area at the site of a previous surgical incision. Common symptoms include a visible bulge, discomfort, pain, and potential complications like bowel obstruction. Treatment typically involves surgical repair, either open or laparoscopic, often with mesh placement to reinforce the abdominal wall. This approach relieves symptoms, prevents recurrence, promotes faster recovery, minimizes complications, and improves long-term abdominal strength and patient quality of life.

Types of Incisional Hernia

Incisional hernias can be repaired using open surgery or laparoscopic techniques, sometimes reinforced with surgical mesh. These approaches aim to restore abdominal wall strength, reduce recurrence, relieve pain, and allow quicker recovery with minimal complications.

Causes Requiring Incisional Hernia Repair

Incisional hernias typically occur due to weakened abdominal muscles after previous surgeries, poor wound healing, infection, obesity, excessive strain, or repeated surgical interventions. These factors lead to bulging, pain, discomfort, or complications, necessitating surgical repair.
