Abstract
Incisional hernias represent one of the more common complications of abdominal surgical procedures. The true incidence of incisional hernias has not been well defined, although a number of reports suggest that 3 to 13% of patients undergoing laparotomy will develop a fascial defect in their abdominal scar (1). The majority of incisional hernias occur within the first postoperative year. However, the limited follow-up of most series may underestimate late hernia occurrence.
