Ventral hernias are one of the most common problems confronting general surgeons. Incisional hernia is a common long-term complication of abdominal surgery and is estimated to occur in 3% to 13% of laparotomy incisions. Because there is no prospective cohort available to determine the natural history of untreated ventral hernias, most surgeons recommend that these hernias should be repaired when discovered. So, there was a need to study the disease with respect to the various presentations, to gauge the awareness levels of the patients coming to us and also to determine the best modality of treatment.
