ABSTRACT

Introduction: incisional hernia is a frequent complication of abdominal surgery. The incidence of this entity ranges 2 % to 15 % of patients, and some authors point out that it may reach 23 % when associated to surgical wound infection.
Objective: to describe the characteristics of patients operated on from incisional hernia at "Enrique Cabrera" general teaching hospital from 2004 to 2010.
Methods: a retrospective, observational and descriptive study was conducted. The universe of study was 212 patients with preoperative diagnosis of incisional hernia and operated on from January 2004 to December 2010. Demographic parameters, toxic habits, personal pathological background, previous surgery, location of previous incision, type of surgical technique, use and location of prostheses, antibiotic therapy and postoperative complications were analyzed.
Results: eighty five percent of patients were females, 40 % were 50 to 61 years-old, 58.3 % presented with toxic habits, the location of 69.3 % of hernias were infraumbilical and the highest incidence went to hysterectomies. Stoppa's technique was mostly used in hernioplasty whereas Mayo's technique was the choice in most herniorrhaphies.
Conclusions: obesity and diabetes were the commonest diseases; the majority of patients were smokers; the infraumbilical incision resulting from abdominal hysterectomy was the most frequent location of incisional hernia. The surgical wound infection was often found as complication. Postoperative relapse was observed in 4.6 % of the surgical patients.
