Symptoms depend on the size and severity of the hernia. Common signs include:
Complex hernias include several difficult-to-treat variants that require expert surgical care due to size, recurrence, anatomy, or complications involved:
Includes recurrent abdominal wall hernias
Large or giant ventral hernias
Parastomal hernias around stoma sites
Multiple previous surgical failures
Hernias with infection or mesh complications
Complex hernias are diagnosed through thorough clinical examination supported by advanced imaging techniques to understand defect size, muscle weakness, and associated complications:
CT scan to assess defect dimensions
Ultrasound to check hernia contents
Physical examination for bulges
Evaluation of prior surgical scars
Assessment of abdominal muscle strength
Complex hernia treatment offers significant medical advantages by restoring abdominal strength, preventing life-threatening issues, and improving long-term functional and overall patient quality outcomes:

Supports long-term abdominal function
Complex hernias can lead to severe complications if untreated, making early diagnosis and timely medical or surgical intervention extremely important for preventing worsening conditions:
Strangulation of bowel loops
Severe abdominal pain episodes
Chronic infections and abscesses
Breathing difficulty due to pressure
Risk of intestinal obstruction
Treatment for complex hernias typically involves advanced surgical methods performed by specialized surgeons to repair defects, reinforce weakened tissues, and prevent recurrence effectively:
