Incisional Hernias
If you've had surgery in your abdominal area, you might experience this type of hernia. In incisional hernias, part of the intestines bulge through the abdomen around a surgical incision. In this case, surgery actually weakened the muscle tissue in the abdomen. This type of hernia requires another surgery to repair it.
What can you do for an Incisional Hernia?
Incisional Hernias do not just go away so it is important you talk to your doctor and receive treatment. Over time your hernia could become larger more painful and a serious problem that requires medical attention. In some cases of incisional hernias, especially in obese patients, the diagnosis can be difficult. In cases like this a CT scan of the abdomen can help in making the diagnosis. In those studies one can see the defect in the abdominal wall and then recommend the appropriate surgical repair.
