Background: An incisional hernia is a bulge or protrusion that occurs near or directly along a prior abdominal surgical incision. Various surgical techniques including Open tissue repair, double breasting, darning, open and laparoscopic meshplasty have been used to repair the incisional hernias. In this era, we have selected topic ‘Pre-peritoneal versus on-lay meshplasty in incisional hernia re...

The most familiar type of hernia occurs in the abdomen and the causes are either abdominal wall weakness or intraabdominal hypertension, or both. Most abdominal wall hernias result from a weakness in the abdominal wall that may be either congenital or acquired (most are incisional). Although denervative hernia or bulge produced by nerve damage and muscle paralysis is not a new entity of hernia ...

We report a rare complication caused by a displaced tack after laparoscopic incisional hernia repair. A 41-year-old woman treated 11 months earlier for a suprapubic incisional hernia (Pfannenstiel laparotomy) received a laparoscopic repair with a bilaminar mesh fixed with tacks. Seven months later, she presented miccional irritative symptoms and chronic lower abdominal pain. Leucocyturia and mi...

INTRODUCTION Incisional hernia (IH) is one of the most frequent postoperative complications after abdominal surgery. There are multiple surgical techniques described for IH repair. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of primary fascial closure on long-term results in retromuscular hernia repair (RHR) for incisional hernias. METHODS A total of 132 patients underwent RHR for IH were ...

Mesh repair is now the gold standard technique of repair on incisional hernias. Infection of the mesh is a challenging complication of this type of repair. The risk of mesh infection has been shown to be greater in case of complicated hernia. We present the case of a 64 years old female who presented with an incarcerated incisional hernia with bowel infarction. Treated with a non absorbable mes...

We describe an ovarian borderline tumour that presented as an acute deterioration in an incisional hernia secondary to intraperitoneal mucin accumulation. The differential diagnosis associated with hernial sac contents and options for opportunistic diagnosis are discussed. This case raises awareness of potential serious diagnoses that may be overlooked during emergent hernia repair.

A case of spontaneous rupture of an incisional hernia is hereby presented. Though very rare in adults, it is a potentially fatal but preventable clinical condition.
