There is no generally accepted incisional hernia classification. To categorize incisional hernias, the European Hernia Society (EHS) proposed their classification based on the measurement of three parameters — location, dimension of hernia gate and recurrence. Unfortunately, this classification does not consider the «loss of the domain» of 20% or more, local complications including trophic ulcer or fistula of anterior abdominal wall. Moreover, implantation of mesh after previous hernia repair, obesity and other clinical factors are also not considered. Thus, surgeons have recently allocated patients with complex incisional hernia in a separate group. There is no clear definition of this term. There are no clinical guidelines on the management of patients with these hernias, and the choice of optimal surgical treatment remains individual. The authors present a patient with complex incisional hernia. Surgical strategy is described.
