Postoperative incisional hernia is a common complication of abdominal surgery; however, its occurrence following a McBurney incision remains exceptional. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, while computed tomography, allows accurate assessment of the parietal defect size essential for the selection of the surgical technique, the hernia sac contents, abdominal wall quality, and the presence of associated complications. Prosthetic repair constitutes the gold standard treatment, with a low recurrence rate, and correction of predisposing factors is essential to optimize surgical outcomes.
