Incidence and aetiological factors of incisional hernia in post-caesarean operations in a Nigerian hospital.

Caesarean operations accounted for most of the postoperative incisional hernias seen in our surgical clinic. In order to determine the incidence and aetiological factors of incisional hernia, all the women who had caesarean operations were reviewed retrospectively.
