Iatrogenic Abdominal Wall Injuries

  • First Online:
Fundamentals of Hernia Radiology

Abstract

As the field of hernia surgery has expanded, the operations performed and the approaches used to restore abdominal wall anatomy have grown exponentially. These complex and diverse operations have changed the way that surgeons and radiologists interpret and evaluate imaging studies of the abdomen. In light of these significant changes, the peritoneum and abdominal wall must carefully be examined for the purposes of diagnostic accuracy and operative planning.
