Incisional Hernia in India — Complete Guide
Incisional hernia is a hernia that develops at the site of a previous abdominal surgery scar. It is one of the more challenging hernia types to repair.
What Is Incisional Hernia?
When abdominal surgery is performed, the abdominal wall is cut and then repaired. If this repair weakens or breaks down, abdominal contents can push through the scar — this is an incisional hernia. It typically appears as a bulge at or near the previous surgery scar, especially when straining.
Who Gets Incisional Hernia?
Incisional hernia develops in 10 to 15% of patients who have had abdominal surgery. Risk is higher with wound infection after surgery, obesity, diabetes, steroid use, emergency surgery (vs planned), and midline incisions (vertical scars).
