Abstract
This study presents a case series of five obese female patients with significant incisional hernias. All cases underwent a combined procedure involving incisional hernia repair and abdominoplasty. No postoperative complications were observed, and patients achieved satisfactory functional and cosmetic outcomes. The study suggests the safety and effectiveness of this approach, emphasizing potential improvements in patients' quality of life and aesthetics. Additionally, a comprehensive review of the literature underscores the significance of this combined approach in managing incisional hernias in obese individuals. Further research is needed to validate these findings in larger patient cohorts, highlighting the importance of considering abdominoplasty during incisional hernia repair in this population.
