Abstract

A prospective study of patients with abdominal wall hernias, who were admitted and operated upon at Al-Fallouja teaching hospital ,Al-Anbar, Iraq, in the period between April 2009 and November 2013. A total of 54 cases, 40 males and 14 females were included in the study sample. Inguinal hernia formed 68.5%, incisional hernia 22.25% and umbilical hernia 9.25% of the study sample. Patients were all adults between 15-75 years (mean age: 46.6). The duration of their complaints ranged from few months to several years.Hernioplasty was performed using polypropylene mesh (open andlaparoscopic technique) to have a tension free repair. Postoperatively the patients were followed up to one year. The incidence of postoperative complications was 18.5%, seroma was the most frequent 9.2%, followed by wound infection 3.7%. A single case of recurrence was reported.
