Abstract

Incisional hernia is the most common complication after abdominal surgeries at 10–30% worldwide. Abdominal wall hernias never heal spontaneously. The risk of incarceration and strangulation is 1–2% per year. The main cause seems to be genetically determined insufficient cross-links between the collagen molecules.
