A ventral hernia occurs when abdominal contents protrude through a weakness or defect in the anterior abdominal wall, often at the site of a previous surgical incision (incisional hernia) or spontaneously.
Incisional hernias affect 10-15% of patients after abdominal surgery; overall ventral hernia prevalence is difficult to estimate but is common (Source: JAMA Surgery, 2017).
