Abstract
Incisional hernias are any herniation of the anterior abdominal wall that occurs through a previous surgical scar. In that, they are the true iatrogenic hernias. It is an extrusion of peritoneum and abdominal contents through a weak scar of a previous operation. They occur in about 5-11% of patients subjected to abdominal operations. Incisional hernias occur as a result of failure of lines of closure of the abdominal wall following laparotomy. If left unattended, they tend to attain a large size and cause discomfort to the patient or may lead to strangulation of the abdominal contents
