Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses traumatic abdominal wall hernia (TAWH), a rare injury caused by blunt abdominal trauma that results in muscle rupture without skin penetration, emphasizing the need for documentation to improve treatment strategies in the future.
- - A case study is presented involving a 48-year-old female who sustained a TAWH after being struck by a heavy vehicle, leading to complete detachment of abdominal muscles on one side, yet her skin remained intact.
- - The surgical approach involved a unique technique using a polypropylene mesh repair, which showed positive outcomes, and was recommended for similar high-strength TAWH cases.
