MORALES, Carlos Hernando; MONTOYA, Jaime Andrés e HENAO, Óscar. Traumatic abdominal hernia. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.4, pp.308-312. ISSN 2011-7582.
Traumatic abdominal wall hernias are a type of acquired hernias secondary to blunt trauma. We report two cases of such hernias, one of them with significant intra-abdominal injury. One wall defect was repaired in layers and fixation of polypropylene mesh over the fascia. The other case was repaired by laparoscopy. Postoperative course was uneventful. The latest literature is reviewed. With this literature review and case report we hope to augment the knowledge on traumatic abdominal wall hernias, hopefully leading to early diagnosis and treatment.
