Dr. Shubhendu Kumar Gharai, Dr. Manoj Kumar Sethy

Abstract :

 Incisional hernia is a common surgical problem, an uncommon sequel of surgical intervention. It occurs  as a result of excessive tension and inadequate healing of previous incision, which is often associated  with surgical site infection. We have studied here the etiology and risk factor for the development of incisional hernia.  Various clinical presentations, incidence of incisional hernia and different therapeutic modalities of treatment and the  post operative complication are also carefully examined. In the present series of 50 patients, incisional hernia is seen in  between 40–49 years of age, with a male to female ratio of 1:3. Most of them show swelling and pain. Risk factor associated with incisional hernia is anemia, increase in intra–abdominal pressure and wound infection. It is observed that  the patients undergone lower segment cesarean section, bilateral tubal ligation, laparotomies, have higher incidence of  incisional hernia. Result shows good response with mesh repair compare to anatomic repair.
