SSAT - Physician Guidelines - Surgical Repair Of Incisional Hernias Surgical Repair of Incisional Hernias Surgery in the abdomen requires creation and subsequent closure of an abdominal incision that is never as strong as the original abdominal wall. Weakening of surgical closures over time may result in the development of an incisional hernia, which is estimated to occur in 3-13% of primary abdominal incisions. Recurrence rates after incisional hernia repair are markedly higher, estimated to range from 25-50%. Factors that contribute to the development of incisional hernias include wound infections, obesity, diabetes and smoking. Reasons for repairing incisional hernias are 1) symptoms, 2) gradual enlargement over time, and 3) avoidance of incarceration and strangulation of bowel.
