Hernias result from defects or holes in the abdominal wall and are typically classified by etiology and location
For example an incisional hernia is one that occurs at the site of a previous abdominal incision
An open repair involves an abdominal incision (often a vertical incision in the midline of the abdomen) and may or may not also involve a release of the abdominal muscles to facilitate closure of the abdominal fascia
As part of this procedure an abdominal wall mesh will be placed to reinforce the hernia repair
bullThe most common problem for patients following hernia repair
Wound Complications
bullMay be minimal redness or may be a dehiscence of the wound with
infection
bullRecurrence of hernia is a return of the hernia following repair
bullWith increasing weight the risk of wound complications and
recurrence increase
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple index of weight for height that is commonly used to classify underweight overweight and obesity in adults1
BMI is an inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories
BMI Classification
Less than 185 Underweight
185-249 Normal weight
250-299 Overweight
300-349 Class I Obesity
350-399 Class II (Severe) Obesity
Greater than 400 Class III (Morbid) Obesity
With increasing weight patients are more likely to have wound complications and hernia recurrence
When compared with patients with BMI in the normal weight category the risk of wound complication is 3 times more likely for patients with BMI between 30 and
40
6 times more likely for patients with BMI greater than 40 3
BMI less than30 BMI more than 30
Hernias recur in less than one in ten patients with BMI 25 or less but
Hernias recur in as many as three in ten patients with BMI more than than 303
BMI more than 30
BMI in normal range
It is highly recommended that a patient reach a BMI as close to 30 as possible in order to have the best chance possible of successful hernia repair
Increase physical activity - Start small and increase every day ndash even a one minute
walk is a start to improving your physical endurance and chances at reaching goal weight
Decrease calorie intake ndash Even a small step such as eliminating sugary drinks
(soda) can improve your chances at reaching goal weight

Successful hernia repair with fewer complications is the desired goal
Many patients have taken the measures necessary and lost enough weight to be in a healthier (and less risky) range of weight before planning hernia repair surgery
You can take steps to meet your goal weight and have successful hernia repair surgery too
If pain associated with your hernia becomes severe there is redness nausea or vomiting associated with the bulge these are signs that the hernia may be entrapped or strangulated
These symptoms are cause for concern and if they occur the patient should seek care
