Abstract
Management of recurrent incisional hernias still remains a challenge for surgeons in determining the best technique to ensure successful repair. Decision making will be more difficult when the recurrences occur at multiple sites within the abdominal wall. We reported a case of a 66-year-old man with underlying history of laparatomy for perforated diverticulum presented with 3 episodes of incisional hernias which were repaired with three different methods. Discussion is focused towards the various methods of incisional hernia repair and the superiority of one technique to the others.
