Abstract
Abstract: Incisional hernia is one the most common postoperative complications of abdominal surgery. Its incidence remains high in spite of the great improvement in the techniques and suture materials used for closing the abdominal wall incisions. Many procedures and techniques were described for preventing and repairing incisional hernia, but up to date there is lack of consensus regarding the best approach for preventing and repairing it. The aim of the present article is to review the risk factors, incidence, pathogenesis, prevention and complication of incisional hernia. 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
