Atypical incisional hernia following Pfannenstiel incision
2013
Introduction
Herniation following Pfannenstiel incision is rare. Closure of the incision in four layers including the rectii abdominis, is done uncommonly. The authors report five cases of interstitial herniae between the rectus muscles and the anterior rectus sheath, incarcerating omentum and bowel. Four patients underwent repair, two as an emergency. One patient was managed conservatively.
