Beschreibung
Incisional hernias are ventral hernias through an operation scar and are a serious complication of abdominal surgery. Incisional hernias occur in 2-11% of laparotomies (A. H. M. DUR. et al, 2009). Incisional hernias enlarge over time and can give rise to such complications as pain, discomfort, bowel obstruction, incarceration and strangulation. Furthermore, incisional hernias reduce the quality of life and the chances for employment. Improvement of the quality of life is the major reason to seek surgical care (M.M. Poelman. et al., 2010).
