Abstract
The herniary pathology is currently a point of attention in
academic and hospital environments, due to its impact on frequency as well as
the repercussions that patients present. The objective of this study was to determine
the clinical-epidemiological profiles of incisional hernia, post laparotomy, of
patients of the Regional Teaching Hospital of Trujillo, 2006-2016, with 189
patients, and the selection of the sample had a census character, carrying out
a retrospective descriptive investigation. For data collection, a card was
used, which obtained information from patient histories and the hospital
database, processing the information through statistical tables. The research
showed that the prevalence of incisional hernia was 0.012%, the lethality rate
was 0%, the highest frequency of this disease was found in patients older than
61 (38.10%), 70.90% of patients were female, the majority of patients came from
coast, 123 (65.08%). Among the risk factors, we found obesity to be the most
frequent in 93.49% of patients, the clinical characteristics of incisional
hernia were pain, tumor and protrusion in post-laparotomy scar in 100% of
cases, from which 98.94% were treated with hernioplasty with mesh implant.
