A unique case of ventral incisional hernia following mesh disruption during laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Andrew M O'neill, MD1, Katherine H Yancey, MD2. 1MAHEC, 2Mission HealthIntroduction: Ventral incisional hernias (VIH) are one of the most common morbidities following abdominal surgery. Although many remain asymptomatic, others can lead to severe complications. Literature review reveals rates of incisional hernia are 13-20% and recurrence following mesh repair is up to 13%. We discuss a rare… Continue Reading
