The appearance of a hernia defect in the scar of a previous
laparotomy has different names, although all of them have
the same meaning. Terms like eventration, incisional hernia,
or laparotomic hernia are accepted by the medical
scientific community, and their use is determined only by
geographic or historical criteria.
Incisional hernia is a complication that occurs after
laparotomy regardless of the type of surgery done in the
abdominal cavity, and occurs in general surgery, gynaecology,
vascular surgery, and urology. Its exact frequency
varies according to different authors [1–6], but is always
around 10–15%. At present much importance is given in
the literature to certain biological factors, essentially those
related to alterations in collagen metabolism.
