Abstract
Incisional hernia is a relatively frequent complication of abdominal surgery, with an incidence rate of 11–20% in patients who undergo laparotomy (1–4). Although the condition occurs frequently and surgeons are quite familiar with such hernias, surgical treatment is not always successful. In fact, the recurrence and complication rates reported in the literature are around 30–54% (1, 3–6).
