What is a Ventral Hernia?
A ventral hernia usually occurs because of a weakening in the abdominal wall due to a previous surgical incision. Like other hernias, a ventral hernia may become dangerous if left untreated, because abdominal structures, like the intestines, can become stuck or twisted in the hernia, leading to a more complex and riskier operation.
