Pre-, intra-, and postoperative sonography of the abdominal wall in patients with incisional hernias repaired via a three-layered operative suture method

We illustrate the various sonographic (US) appearances of the abdominal wall following this type of repair, including partial and complete recurrences. Correlation is made with CT imaging. The three‐layered anatomical reconstruction of an incisional hernia is described. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc...
