Abstract

Traumatic herniation of the abdominal wall is an unusual injury. Early morbidity is related to associated intra-abdominal organ injuries which are common. Late complications due to intestinal incarceration and strangulation can occur. Immediate celiotomy is necessary for hernia reduction and repair and for evaluation of intra-abdominal organ injury. This approach obviates any late complications.
