Abstract :

Incisional hernia after caesarean section is a well-known complication, especially if the convalescence period was not uneventful. Sepsis being a major causative factor. The rising trend of primary caesarean section has led to the rising trends of incisional hernia post C-section. In general the content of the sac are noted to be omentum or small bowel loops. Rarely it can have gravid uterus as hernial content. In even rarer cases, such hernia is associated with skin defect over the sac. Very few such cases are reported in the literature. We hereby report a similar case of full term gravid uterus in post C-section incisional hernia sac, with successful maternal and fetal outcome
