Hernia Focus: Incisional Hernias |
|
| Incisional hernias result from the breakdown of a previous surgical incision.
These arise
most commonly as a result of infection or a hematoma (the collection of
blood in an
incision) following a surgical procedure. Additionally, tension in the
surgical closure of
the abdomen can lead to a disruption of the tissues. The result is an
unsightly bulge which
left alone can lead to numerous complications. Some studies have suggested
that incisional
hernias can occur in as much as 15% to 20% of abdominal operations. Our specialized technique of repairing these incisional hernias incorporates the latest technological developments in hernia surgery. Lasers are utilized to provide a very precise dissection and protect vital structures. Large hernias are bridged with the latest generation mesh secured in place with the Shouldice principles of effective hernia repair.
As a result of our tremendous experience with incisional hernias and our outstanding
success rate, many patients from all over the country have traveled to the Hernia
Center of Ohio after experiencing numerous failures. Our specialized
surgical
technique, coupled with a special expertise in the field, has given many of
these patients a
new lease on life.
