The Indian journal of surgery 2011 JanSpontaneous rupture of an abdominal hernia is very rare and usually occurs in incisional or recurrent groin hernia. The rupture of abdominal hernia demands emergency surgery, to prevent further obstruction, strangulation of bowel and to cover its contents. The hernial contents can be covered primarily by mesh repair if the general condition of the patient and local condition of the operative site allows or can be covered by skin followed by delayed mesh repair. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of incisional hernia in a 60 years old lady who had developed incisional hernia following tubectomy and managed by mesh repair.
