Representative haematoxylin and eosinstained sections. As compared with controls (A), incisional hernia aponeuroses (B) are characterized by a loss of ECM organization, tissue wasting and more rounded fibroblasts. Incisional hernia muscles (D) display higher endomysial connective tissue deposition and more fibres with centrally located nuclei than control muscles (C). Original magnification, ×400.
