Complex Incisional Hernias [PDF]
Incisional hernias are the most frequent “late complications” after laparotomy. They develop in more than 10% of patients and their incidence is related to numerous risk factors (Table 1).

Purpose: Abdominal incisional hernia is one of the most common complications after surgery. The preoperative evaluation of the area of abdominal wall defect and the hernia sac volume(HCV) is very important for the selection of patch size and incisional ...

A double blind randomized controlled trial comparing primary suture closure with mesh augmented closure to reduce incisional hernia incidence [PDF]
Background: Incisional hernia is the most frequently seen long term complication after laparotomy causing much morbidity and even mortality. The overall incidence remains 11-20%, despite studies attempting to optimize closing techniques.

Incisional hernia by liver cysts
AbstractAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most commonly inherited kidney disease and is associated with cystic manifestation in the liver. Patients with ADPKD are at higher risk for hernias, here we present an image of an incisional hernia full of multiple liver cysts.

The Management of Incisional Hernia [PDF]
Many thousand laparotomy incisions are created each year and the failure rate for closure of these abdominal wounds is between 10–15%, creating a large problem of incisional hernia. In the past many of these hernias have been neglected and treated with abdominal trusses or inadequately managed with high failure rates.
