“…midline exploratory laparotomy to rule out the intraabdominal injuries. [12] Associated intraabdominal injury, as in our study, would necessitate exploratory laparotomy or extensive local incision. If all the indicators of intraabdominal injury are negative, local wound exploration provides the best anatomic layered repair with subsequent minimal residual defect and improved long-term cosmesis.…”

Handlebar hernias are abdominal wall hernias resulting from direct trauma to the anterior abdominal wall. They usually result at weak anatomic locations of the abdominal wall. Such traumatic hernias are rare, requiring a high index of suspicion for a clinical diagnosis. We report the case of a handlebar hernia resulting from an injury sustained during a vehicular injury, and discuss the management of such injuries.

“…Debate still remains as to whether midline exploratory laparotomy is needed to rule out intra-abdominal injuries 15. Local exploration through an incision overlying the defect may be an option for small defects caused by low velocity injury, but TAWHs following high-energy trauma should undergo exploratory laparotomy through a midline incision owing to a high prevalence of associated intraabdominal injuries 1,16.…”

Traumatic Abdominal Wall Hernia (TAWH): A Case Study Highlighting Surgical Management

We report a rare case of traumatic abdominal wall hernia (TAWH) caused by a traffic accident. A 47-year-old woman presented to the emergency room soon after a traffic accident. She complained of diffuse, dull abdominal pain and mild nausea. She had no history of prior abdominal surgery or hernia. We found a bulging mass on her right abdomen. Plain abdominal films demonstrated a protrusion of hollow viscus beyond the right paracolic fat plane. Computed tomography (CT) showed intestinal herniation through an abdominal wall defect into the subcutaneous space. She underwent an exploratory surgery, followed by a layer-by-layer interrupted closure of the wall defect using absorbable monofilament sutures without mesh and with no tension, despite the large size of the defect. Her postoperative course was uneventful.

Abdominal intercostal hernias are rare in small animals. A 1-year-old, entire, male, domestic shorthaired cat, weighing 3.5 kg was presented with a history of progressive swelling over the right cranial abdomen, noticed over a period of 6 months. The cat had a history of having been attacked by a dog on the right cranial abdomen. On physical examination, a soft tissue mass measuring 11.5 × 8.4 cm was noticed. Survey radiograph revealed the presence of a lobulated organ with soft tissue opacity at the level of the 12th-13th ribs. Abdominal ultrasonography showed herniation/displacement of a structure with soft tissue echogenicity suggestive of right lateral liver lobe with normal parenchyma, hepatic and portal vein. Based on these findings, a traumatic abdominal intercostal hernia was diagnosed and herniorrhaphy was performed. The outcome was favourable.
