Abstract
Ventral hernias may arise from an area of weakness in anterior abdominal wall such as umbilicus, sites of
previous surgery or from the areas where musculature is weak. They are commonly dealt surgical
problem in our day to day clinical practice associated with various complications/recurrence. This prospective study was
conducted to analyze various risk factors responsible for ventral hernia formation and in formulating targeted effective preoperative optimization of those risk factors thereby improving post-operative outcomes. Among various predisposing factors,
females (63.33%), history of previous surgery (55%), old age (38.3%) formed the majority in this study. Prevention of ventral hernia
and targeted preoperative optimization has gained popularity in recent times to achieve better post-operative outcomes.
