This case report follows the treatment of a 32-year-old Hispanic female who developed an incisional hernia after her first cesarean delivery. During her second cesarean section, the ventral hernia needed to be repaired due to the inability to approximate the fascial ring and close the abdominal wall. Hernias, in general, are uncommon during pregnancy and given that ventral hernias are virtually nonexistent in this patient population, we are left to deal with a host of different obstacles in their diagnosis and treatment.
