Abstract
Incisional hernias are any herniation of the anterior abdominal wall
that occurs through a previous surgical scar. In that, they are the true
iatrogenic hernias. It is an extrusion of peritoneum and abdominal
contents through a weak scar of a previous operation. They occur in
about 5-11% of patients subjected to abdominal operations. Incisional
hernias occur as a result of failure of lines of closure of the abdominal
wall following laparotomy. If left unattended, they tend to attain a large
size and cause discomfort to the patient or may lead to strangulation of
the abdominal contents
