Abstract

Between 5% and 11% of patients who have had abdominal procedures have been found to have incisional hernia, which is a common surgical disease. The goal of this study is to assess the severity of this problem and the various procedures that can be used in our specific setting to surgically repair mesh. Methods: This is a prospective study of 40 patients with incisional hernia who sought care in the emergency room and outpatient department (OPD) at the Department of Surgery, K.M.C/M.G.M Hospital, Warangal, Telangana, India, between the months of May 2021 to April 2022. The patients voluntarily provided their data for the study. Results: When the patients first presented, the majority of them had an incisional hernia in the area beneath the umbilicus. While the patients who underwent overlay mesh repair did not experience a recurrence, two of the patients who had undergone inlay mesh repair had their incisional hernias return. In comparison to inlay repair, overlay mesh repair appears to be unquestionably superior because there was no recurrence during the comparative follow-up period of three to twelve months. Conclusions: The research's conclusions indicate that for the treatment of incisional hernias, overlay mesh repair is preferable to inlay mesh repair.
