Description
Summary:Blunt trauma abdomen with abdominal wall herniation with bowel perforation is an acute emergency condition. Road traffic accidents causing blunt trauma are common in a youngster like in our case. Once the patient is resuscitated, ultrasonography and Computed tomography must be done. Early surgical exploration with mesh or primary repair of the defect is the mainstay of management. We have a case of a 25-year-old male with blunt trauma abdomen and anterior wall hernia following a road traffic accident who was managed with emergency exploratory laparotomy as computed tomography suggested anterior abdominal wall herniation of bowel content.
