Overview
An incisional hernia occurs when the area of weakness through which the hernia occurs, is the result of an incompletely healed surgical wound. Since median incisions in the linea alba are frequent for laparotomy, ventral incisional hernias are termed ventral hernia. These can be the most frustrating and difficult hernias to treat.
