Spontaneous Evisceration of an Incisional Hernia Presenting One Year After Primary Surgery

Abstract

Spontaneous evisceration is a rare complication associated with incisional hernia which demands an emergency surgery. A few cases have been reported on this. We report a spontaneous evisceration of bowel with strangulation which was managed by bowel resection and anastomosis and anatomical repair of incisional hernia.
