The incidence of incisional hernia in literature is 2- 11% following all laparotomies and it is a source of morbidity and requires high health care costs. This study was undertaken to assess the magnitude of various factors leading to development of this condition & to evaluate the technique of preperitoneal mesh repair of incisional hernias with regards to post operative complications, hospital stay and recurrences, if any. This was a prospective study of 100 cases of incisional hernia who attended our OPD from May 2008 to May 2010. In the present study, preperitoneal mesh repair had excellent long-term results with minimal morbidity. Comparing other types of mesh repair, the preperitoneal mesh repair is the gold standard treatment for incisional hernia.
