abstract="Traumatic abdominal wall herniae are a type of acquired hernia secondary to blunt trauma. More than 70 cases have been reported in the literature. A group of injuries differing in pathophysiology and severity of associated findings are included in this context. Two major types of traumatic hernia has been described. The first is a small defect caused by blunt trauma with small instruments, such as a handlebar or the blunt end of a gardening tool handle. The second type is a larger defect sustained during motor vehicle crashes or falls from a height, including the well-known seatbelt syndrome.   <p>Language: en</p>",
