Summary
Conservative management of incisional hernias using abdominal corsets can lead to complications like pressure necrosis and fistulation. Surgical intervention, including en-bloc excision and mass closure, effectively resolved the hernia without recurrence.
Area of Science:
- Abdominal Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Complications
Background:
- Incisional hernias are common surgical defects following abdominal surgery.
- Natural history includes risks of intestinal obstruction and strangulation.
- Conservative management with abdominal corsets is sometimes employed.
