Abstract
Incisional hernia is one of the most common postoperative complications in abdominal surgery. After abdominal organ transplantation, the risk of incisional hernia will increased due to long-term use of immunosuppression therapy and other reasons which lead delay wound healing and susceptibility to infection. The formation of incisional hernia after kidney transplantation is usually not fatal to patients, so it has not received much attention from surgeons. However, incisional hernia can lead to prolonged hospital stay and increased costs. In addition, if not treated promptly, the hernia contents may adhere to the hernia sac, which may lead to intestinal obstruction, cardiovascular and respiratory dysfunction; and it may seriously threaten the quality of life and physical health of patients. Therefore, the study of incisional hernia after kidney transplantation is particularly important. Key words: Incisional hernia; Renal transplantation; Risk factor; Hernia mesh
