Abstract
Hernias are among the oldest surgical challenges which have confronted the surgical community. A hernia is an out pouching of a visceral organ or a part of organ through an opening that it does not normally transverse. When hernias are associated with the abdomen, they may occur through the inguinal canal, lumbar trigon of Petit, femoral canal, or umbilicus. Nerve damage and weakening of the muscles, as a postsurgical complication, may lead to herniation. Abdominal wall hernias are usually asymptomatic, discovered incidentally on routine physical examination. However, complications of abdominal hernia may be life threatening and require urgent medical attention. Many surgical techniques have been developed to repair hernias, the most important being tension-free closure. The open repair with mesh has several options, including what type of mesh and where to place the mesh.The aim of the present study was to review the causes, diagnosis and surgical management of ventral hernia repair.
