• Postoperative– Infection– Postop cough, distention– Postop peritonitis– Early removal of sutures– Postop steroid therapy

Types of incisional hernia
• Type 1– Upper abdomen/ midline lower abdomen– Wide gap in musculature– Low risk of strangulation
• Type 2– Lateral part of abdomen– Small defect– Strangulation risk high

Treatment
• Prevention of incisional hernia– Weight reduction– Correct nutritional defects– Treat chronic cough– Careful closure of abdomen– Prevent post op wound infection

• Conservative management– Reducible type 1
• SURGICAL MANAGEMENT

LUMBAR HERNIA
• Superior lumbar hernia
• Inferior lumbar hernia

Incisional lumbar hernia
• Renal surgery with post op infection• Paralysis of lumbar muscles(phantom hernia)• Treatment– Primary hernia – herniorrhaphy– Incisional hernia

OBTURATOR HERNIA
• Rare; old women• Through obturator
foramen• Thigh flexed, abducted and
externally rotated• Referred pain to knee joint• Strangulation - surgery

SPIGELEAN HERNIA
• Interparietal hernia• At level of arcuate line,
lateral to rectus• Treatment - surgery

• Gluteal hernia
• Sciatic hernia

CONCLUSION
• Protrusion of a part or whole of viscus through an abnormal opening in the wall of the cavity that contains it
• Inguinal hernia most frequent• Usual mode of treatment is surgical
