Introduction: Despite the many ways and materials available to surgeons today, correction of incisional hernias continues to be a real challenge for surgeons.

Aim of the study: To show our experience in the treatment of patients with incisional hernias.

Material and methods: subject of this study are 69 patients operated on during the period May 2015 to May 2020 in the Clinical Hospital of Tetovo.

Results: Correction of the incisional hernia in 24 patients was performed by closing the defect without the use of prosthetic materials (herniorrhaphy). In 38 patients, hernioplasty was performed using polypropylene mesh, while in six of them the correction of the defect was performed through the composite dual mesh. The incidence of other complications such as operative wound infection, hematoma, seroma, and postoperative pain was lower in persons where the incisional hernia was corrected with composite dual mesh.

Conclusion: Correction of incisional hernias with the use of prosthetic materials marks a lower rate not only of recurrence but also of other postoperative complications.
