A CLINICAL AND SURGICAL STUDY OF INCISIONAL HERNIAS
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
BACKGROUND Incisions through the abdominal wall are based on anatomical principles. The intra-abdominal pressure is considerable and the surgeon aims at leaving the abdominal wall as strong as possible after operation, otherwise there exists a very real fear that portions of the abdominal contents may leave the abdominal cavity through the weak area, which are caused by a badly placed incision resulting in a condition known as scar incisional or ventral hernia. This study is intended to understand the clinical and surgical factors that may have been a contributory factor for the formation of the incisional hernias and also the treatment modality that is commonly employed to correct the discontinuity. This study is intended to help the practicing surgeons and also the young budding surgeons to understand the disease in detail. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was done in the Department of General Surgery, RIMS Medical College, Ongole. Sixty patients who returned after undergoing the surgical procedures were included in the study. The study included 15 males and 45 females. The study was done from January 2014 to December 2016. RESULTS In the present study, the mean age of the total population was found to be 48.23 years. The female counterpart was found to be three times higher than that when compared to the males. The symptoms that tend to increase the intra-abdominal pressure tends to increase the mishap. The condition is more common in the early stages post-surgery. CONCLUSION In this study, the demographic pattern and the most common clinical and surgical factors that is thought to be directly involved with the condition has been reported.
