Introduction
Incisional hernia repair is a surgical procedure performed to correct a weakness or defect in the abdominal wall at the site of a previous surgical incision.
Incisional hernias develop when the abdominal wall does not heal properly after surgery, allowing internal tissues or organs to protrude through the weakened area.
They may cause pain, bulging, digestive discomfort, and carry a risk of incarceration or strangulation if left untreated.
Surgical repair is the only definitive treatment, aiming to restore abdominal wall strength and prevent recurrence.
