Recurrent Lateral Abdominal Wall Hernias: Options for Reconstruction

Description

Management of lateral abdominal wall hernias presents a surgical challenge, and best management is controversial. Flank hernias as a surgical sequela occur more commonly, whereas flank hernias resulting from trauma are a rare occurrence. In this article, we present a review of the literature and a case of flank hernia presenting after trauma and recurring after repair. An anchored suture repair was performed and reinforced by the addition of a polyester underlay mesh.
