where is an incisional hernia located
A ventral hernia occurs when a weak spot in the abdomen enables abdominal tissue or an organ (such as an intestine) to protrude through a cavity muscle area. These hernias are visibly identified by a bulge in the belly area. The most common sites for ventral hernias are the site of a previous abdominal procedure (an incisional hernia), the navel (an umbilical hernia), and the groin (an inguinal hernia). About 90,000 ventral hernia repairs are performed in the United States each year.
