Abstract
Post traumatic anterior abdominal wall hernia can be ignored in emergency settings. We here report the case of a 32-year-old patient with a BMI of 30 kg/m2, suffering from anterior abdominal wall hernia as a result of a road accident. This lesion wasn't detected during clinical examination. Abdominal tomodensitometry showed a defect of 8 cm in the anterior abdominal wall. The patient underwent surgery during which a musculoaponeurotic defect of 12 cm was detected. The repair was carried out using interrupted suture. The postoperative course was marked by a secondarily infected skin necrosis. The evolution was satisfactory after directed cicatrization. At 3 months postoperatively the patient was doing well with a healed wound and a strong abdominal wall.Entities:
