Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether drainage after prosthetic repair of incisional abdominal hernias increases or decreases complications such as infection seromas and hematomas
Detailed Description: Between 3 to 20 of patients who received a midline laparotomy will develop an incisional hernia

Primary suture of the defect is associated with a recurrence rate between 25 and 50Mesh repair is superior with regard to the recurrence 12-20 but early postoperative complications include infections hematomas and seromas

Some advocate the use of drains in order to diminish secretions and complications Other claim that drains increase the complications rate

In the absence of a randomized controlled trial its not clear whether drainage could influence positively or negatively the occurence of such complications when performing a prosthetic repair of abdominal incisional hernia

The aim of this study is to answer this question comparing prospectively two groups of operated patients the former with drainage and the latter without
