What are the main causes of incisional hernia?
Incisional hernia may be caused by obesity, surgery, poor postoperative recovery, and other factors. Here are the details:
Obesity: Obese patients tend to have relatively weak abdominal wall muscles and fascia, which can lead to an increased risk of incisional hernia after surgery.
Surgical Factors: Abdominal surgery requires an incision through the abdominal wall, potentially causing damage or cutting to the muscle layer and fascia. Improper surgical techniques or non-standard operations may contribute to this.
Poor Postoperative Recovery: During postoperative recovery, patients need to rest and follow the doctor's advice on diet and activity. Excessive activity or exertion can also lead to the occurrence mentioned above.
In addition to the above reasons, it could also be due to factors such as malignant tumors. To prevent the occurrence of incisional hernia, patients need to disclose their medical history and relevant conditions before surgery and follow the doctor's advice for treatment and care. After surgery, patients should pay attention to rest and diet, avoid excessive activities and vigorous exercise, to promote wound healing and prevent the occurrence of incisional hernia.
