Post-surgical hernia. Close-up of the abdomen of an 81-year-old male patient with an incisional hernia following surgery for small bowel obstruction and empyema (collection of pus within a cavity). A hernia occurs when an organ, such as a loop of the intestine, protrudes from a weak area in the body wall. An incisional hernia is a type of hernia caused by an incompletely-healed surgical wound.
