Background: Incisional Hernias are common complication of andominal surgery. Depending on the risk factors Incisional Hernia can occure in 10 - 20 % of patients subjected to abdominal operations. Aims and Objective: A clinical study on risk factors, clinical prentations, management and post oprattive complications in patient with Incisional Hernia. Setting: Department of Surgery of a Tertiary Health Care Centre with an attached medical college. Material and Methods: A total of 43 patients of Incisional Hernia were studied and postoperative complications were evaluated in our institute. Results: Incidence of incisional hernia is more common in females than males and the overall M:F ratio is 1:2, 55.9 % of patients presented with swelling and pain. Incisional hernia incidence is high in lower abdominal incisions. Conclusions: The use of midline incision should be restricted to operations in which unlimited access to the abdominal cavity is necessary. Use of suction drain reducess post-oparative complication.
