A database search was performed using a combination of the search terms: incisional hernia, risk factors, incidence, pathogenesis, prevention and complications. Some of the relevant reference lists were search manually to obtain more relevant literature. Keywords: Incisional hernia (IH), Risk factors, Incidence, Pathogenesis, Prevention, Complications
